Now a word on my setup. I have two screens, one hanging off an

under Fedora 6.

Most of the setups with 2 graphics cards are broken in xserver 1.5.x.


Hello,

where could I find more information on this behaviour as I am running a 
multi seat setup which is heavily used and build with graphics cards by 
different vendors.


Best regards, Alexander.

i got a general Question. I got a nvidia onboard graphic card and a
ATI X1550 (PCI) with dual dvi in my System and i want to use both
cards.
Is this possible?


Hello,

yes, it is, and not just in principle: I am running a (quite old) system 
with nVidia AGP and ATI PCI card using the open source drivers since May 
this year. In my setup the closed source drivers cause trouble as I had 
to confirm the day before yesterday when I tried the 173.14.09 driver as 
it is shipped with Debian testing and got a frozen system. The last 
fglrx test is a bit older and resulted in slow 2D.



I want to use a vga Monitor on the nvidia, and two dvi monitors on the
ATI. Because during my tests i got no success, i got it working that
all 3 Screens got black but then the hole System was freeze ( it was
opensuse 11.0 ).


I was able to cope with black screens and freezes by using a dummy X 
server for initialization as mentioned for instance here[1]. Obviously, 
it didn't help with my latest closed source nVidea test, see above. So, 
perhaps it is unnecessary.


I assume you want to use Xinerama with the double head ATI card. I have 
no idea about this.


Regards and enjoy :-) Alexander.

I run such a 2-seater under Debian Sid. 2

Hello,

perhaps an update would help as the current xorg for sid is 1:7.3+17[1]. 
Furthermore I am running a multi seat environment with this server w/o 
problems using a PCI- and an AGP-card(*).



Bus types other than PCI not yet isolable
...

\PCI:1:0:0\ vt7
command=/usr/bin/X0 :1 -layout X0 -dpi 110 -deferglyphs 16 -isolateDevice 
\PCI:0:8:0\ -sharevts


You are obviously referring to PCI devices so I cannot see a reason 
other then hard to find violation of syntax ;-) for the server to 
complain, but that is perhaps my problem :-)


For a test would you just drop the -isolateDevice statements from the 
*dm.conf lines and try the BusID statement in the respective Device 
sections of your xorg.conf? For instance something like


Section Device
Identifier  Foo
Driver  somedriver
BusID   PCI:1:0:0
EndSection

Section Device
Identifier  Bar
Driver  someotherdriver
BusID   PCI:0:8:0
EndSection

Have fun  good luck :-) Alexander.

don't know whether this is really necessary.

Does anyone know any up-to-date HOWTO for setting up multihead / dual 
input - two graphics cards running on one PC, with two local users, with 
two keyboards, running separate X sessions?


Hello,

for my set-up I found help with the following sites:

http://blog.chris.tylers.info/index.php?/archives/14-Multiseat-X-Under-X11R6.97.0.html
http://wiki.debian.org/Multi_Seat_Debian_HOWTO
http://netpatia.blogspot.com/2008/02/multiseat-computer-with-ubuntu-804.html

It is up  running for more than 4 months now: AMD K7, AGP nVidia card 
(nv35), ATI PCI card (r600 with internal PCIe to PCI). I am using nv and 
radeon from xorg as provided by Debian testing and sometimes Debian 
unstable. Even with the partly (very) old components everything works 
fine. We are not in gaming, though :-)


What I'm finding in the internet are either old / XFree based documents, 
mostly incomplete etc.


Even if the guides are partly dated I found them useful.

If you are interested, I could send my conf files in the evening 
(European time).


Best regards  good luck,
