Actually, I've already had all kinds of problems with the Stealth in Linux as a second card, I'd just forgot about it. It seems to perform a little better with the Nvidia card, but still needs fixing.
With the Trident, I'm finding I can't even get a video BIOS screen when it boots up, and this is usually the sign of some kind of more fundamental problem rather then just drivers. I've tried booting up with the Trident as primary, and I still don't get a BIOS screen or anything at all. I haven't tried it under Windows, and that would be the last word for me. I've Emailed Jaton about it and they handle Trident these days and so they should be able to say something. ----Original Message Follows---- From: Mark Vojkovich <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Xpert]XFree86 4.2, multihead (xinerama), problems with a nvidia geforce2-MX and either a trident or stealth cards Date: Sun, 18 Aug 2002 13:37:08 -0700 (PDT) MIME-Version: 1.0 Received: from mc2-f35.law16.hotmail.com ([65.54.237.42]) by mc2-s1.law16.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.4905); Sun, 18 Aug 2002 13:45:47 -0700 Received: from public.xfree86.org ([204.152.184.37]) by mc2-f35.law16.hotmail.com with Microsoft SMTPSVC(5.0.2195.4905); Sun, 18 Aug 2002 13:45:39 -0700 Received: from public.XFree86.Org (localhost [127.0.0.1])by public.xfree86.org (Postfix) with ESMTPid 1AEAD27631; Sun, 18 Aug 2002 16:45:27 -0400 (EDT) Received: from dns1.nvidia.com ([209.249.170.16])by public.xfree86.org (8.11.6/8.11.6) with ESMTP id g7IKemw17739for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Sun, 18 Aug 2002 13:40:48 -0700 (PDT)(envelope-from [EMAIL PROTECTED]) Received: from NVVwall.nvidia.com (z06.nvidia.com [209.213.198.25])by dns1.nvidia.com (8.12.4/8.12.4) with SMTP id g7IKekrE073428for <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Sun, 18 Aug 2002 13:40:46 -0700 (PDT) Received: from 172.16.217.105 by NVVwall.nvidia.com (InterScan E-Mail VirusWall NT); Sun, 18 Aug 2002 13:40:41 -0700 Received: by mail-sc-0.nvidia.com with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19)id <Q033NVDN>; Sun, 18 Aug 2002 13:40:41 -0700 Received: from dhcp-178-229.nvidia.com ([172.16.178.229]) by mail-sc-0.nvidia.com with SMTP (Microsoft Exchange Internet Mail Service Version 5.5.2653.13)id Q033NVDM; Sun, 18 Aug 2002 13:40:34 -0700 In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sender: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Errors-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-BeenThere: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.9 Precedence: bulk List-Help: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=help> List-Post: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List-Subscribe: <http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert>,<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=subscribe> List-Id: General X Discussion <xpert.XFree86.Org> List-Unsubscribe: <http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert>,<mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe> List-Archive: <http://XFree86.Org/pipermail/xpert/> Return-Path: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-OriginalArrivalTime: 18 Aug 2002 20:45:40.0077 (UTC) FILETIME=[368BF1D0:01C246F8] On Sun, 18 Aug 2002, Paul Pikowsky wrote: > I can't seem to get both screens going in multihead using the following > cards: > > Jaton 3DForce2 MX-32 (nvidia geforce2-MX) AGP card as primary. > > And either of the two following cards as PCI secondary: > > Diamond Stealth II S220 > > When this card is used, I get the second screen OK, but the screen is > displaced so that the sides meet in the middle.

I'm not sure about the others (wouldn't be surprised if they didn't work well as secondary cards). If you have an option in the motherboard bios to switch which card (AGP vs PCI) is primary, you may want to try making one of the other cards primary instead. If the other cards work fine alone, they will likely work fine if they are the primary card in a multihead configuration.
