Hi, I am after a bit of advice on setting up dual headed X and problems with int10 module. Any help or advice appreciated.
Error log located at : http://www.montagesystems.com.au/~bruins/XFree86.8.log What I am hoping to achieve: Firstly dual headed X11 using any two videocards from below. Main goal: Under X11, I would like to have the output of two videocameras displayed on two monitors. That is camera output A, in a window on monitor A. Camera output B, in a window on monitor B. What hardware I have: I have a SGI 1450, quad xeon 700, PC, buckets of disk and ram. 2 x PCI, ATI 128 RAGE PAL TV cards 32Meg(capture, video, etc). 1 x PCI, TV Excel (TV tuner with capture card), brooktree BT878 chipset. 1 x AGP, ATI Mach 64 (disabled in BIOS) 1 x PCI, V3800 Riva TNT2, 32 Meg (capture, video, etc) (not in machine) 1 x video source What software I have: Linux 2.4.8 kernel Mandrake 8.0 Traktopel Operating System Either - XFree86 4.1.0 XFree86 4.1.99.1 (built from source) xawtv ver. 3.60 Basically I can't even get the machine to run two headed, either xinerama or normal, let alone the two video cards displaying from sources. My guess is when int10 is probing the *second* video card, it can't read it's configuration and is failing. <snip> (II) Loading sub module "int10" (II) LoadModule: "int10" (II) Reloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libint10.a (II) R128(1): initializing int10 (EE) R128(1): Cannot read V_BIOS </snip> What I believe I have got to work: Using the first 128 Rage card, I have got xawtv to read /dev/video from the brooktree card. What I have failed to get to work: Basically I have failed to get two headed X11 working no matter what I have tried. Using - the first 128 Rage card, xawtv (no options) Xfree86 4.1.0 (configured for one monitor only) Result - Machine lock after moving the mouse 6 cms. Using - the first 128 Rage card, xawtv (no options) Xfree86 4.1.99.1 (configured for one monitor only) modprobe videodev ldconfig Result - Would not use the xvideo extension, even though the module was loaded. Error mesg - Xawtv: input image, ports 55-55 Error mesg - Xawtv: no usable video port found If you could please advise me on the setup that is most likely to work, I would appreciate it. Thankyou heaps. - mike -- Mike Bruins ph (08) 8331-3022 Information Analyst fax (08) 8331-3044 Montage Systems Pty. Ltd. Adelaide, South Australia.
