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. [1]https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiseatX
