PCIe and PCI dual cards?

2009-11-26 Thread Jaguar Finch 
I'm trying to get a PCIe and a PCI video card to work together for a
multi-monitor setup but I'm getting "(EE) No devices detected.  Fatal server
error:  no screens found".

This is under Ubunutu 9.04 and both are nvidia cards. According to the log,
both cards are being detected and the nvidia driver is being loaded. I'll
really appreciate the time anyone could spend helping me look at this.
Here's my xorg.conf:

	Here's your problem.  Dual screen card support was broken for quite a 
while.  Basically, 1.6.x doesn't support them, except by accident.  I'm a 
Fedora user, and it completely failed for me for Fedora versions maybe 9-11. 
Xorg 1.7 (used in Fedora 12) is supposed to support multiple graphics chips. 
So here's what I see your options to be:

1.  Upgrade to xorg 1.7 and see if it helps you (you may have to upgrade
your whole OS to get the xorg upgrade)
2.  Downgrade to one of the versions that used to work (may not support
modern screen cards).
3.  Get a screen card that supports dual monitors on one chip.  Be warned
that these must be on one chip on the card; I have a screen card that
supports 4 monitors, but on Fedora 11 I can only use 2 because the
problem is that there are two chips on the card, and each supports two
monitors, but xorg 1.6 only supports one chip at a time (except under
special circumstances).

HTH,

Actually, for drivers that don't require I/O access or legacy VGA, it does
work if you specify BusIDs.  Jaguar's problem was that he was using the
lspci style of BusID rather than the X style (i.e. "bus:dev.func" rather
than "bus:dev:func").  We really ought to agree on a common BusID
formatting style and then be consistent about it.
