Dear Cheng Pin Yen:

as a rough tuning, you can define spin on each atom
directly in the InitSpin block of fdf input.
One of your configurations is magnetic and the other not,
so with a bit of luck you will be able to stabilize one and
another of them.

As a more sophisticated tuning, you can hack the density matrix,
addressing individual (on-site) terms for each orbital, 
and pray that these configurations survive in subsequent
self-consistent calculation with a prudent mixing.
I wrote a tool
http://www.home.uni-osnabrueck.de/apostnik/Software/DMtune.tar.gz
which, as it is, does not allow to modify occupations of
individual orbitals, but it can be easily changed in this sense, I think.

Independently on this technical problem, and speaking about Ru ion,
I wonder how reasonable your results will be without a spin-orbit...

Good luck,

Andrei
