Some system BIOSes do not assign resources to any but the primary VGA chip. This is an actual BIOS bug, and leaves the OS with little chance to get it fired up after the fact - particularly if the VGA chip resides on a bridged PCI bus.

That's a good start, you could also try older versions of xserver-xorg-video-nv and xserver-xorg-core and see if it broke in a specific upgrade. You can find older packages here, http://snapshot.debian.net/ Otherwise, I suggest you use the reportbug tool to file a bug report for xserver-xorg-video-nv.

Anyway, getting a backtrace of the crash, preferably with debug packages and then filing a bug report would be a good start. (Be sure to look through the existent bug reports first, it may already have been filed http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=xserver-xorg-video-nv ) If possible, try with Xorg from experimental, it's usually a good idea to use the version closest to upstream. If you have time, try each card separately and see if you can pinpoint the crash to a specific configuration. -- Cheers, Sven Arvidsson http://www.whiz.se PGP Key ID 760BDD22 signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Two video cards / Xorg crashes in sid
Hi. I had a successful setup a long time ago with Xorg and xinerama in Debian sid. I use 2 monitors and 2 video cards. It used to work well, but now I doesn't work anymore, even with the same configuration file I had before. I didn't have the time to debug, until today. Has something similar happened to any of you recently? Any of you having trouble with the most recent Xorg? Here's my configuration file: http://www.pastebin.ca/427419 lspci : 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44 [GeForce 6200 LE] (rev a1) 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x] (rev a4) Regards, Nelson.- -- http://arhuaco.org http://emQbit.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
