hello, i would like to implement one machine having two cards (matrox millennium ii g200 pci and nvidia geforce2 mx 400 agp) and two monitors and two mice and two keyboards. one display should be for xfree86 4.2.0 only, the other for vt and another xfree 4.2.0. i did it using the description at http://cambuca.ldhs.cetuc.puc-rio.br/multiuser keyboards and mice are fine. but the graphics cards.... i can tell the machine's bios which one should be the primary, i tried both. i configured all i know of in xf86config-4, tried all cominations: display on mga only, when nvidia is primary and nvidia, when nvidia is primary, mga, when mga is primary, nvidia, when mga is primary. nothing works. the screen/graphics card that should have my ttys (vts) always does really strange things and displays a bright background most of the time immediately if the other card switches into graphics mode. i also tried the drivers from nvidia - the same in all combinations. but i know that it works, because on the other keyboard i can type "ls" and after i did my best to restore the screen i can see that there was a command typed in. the desired screen switches into graphics mode and i can't refuse the other screen from getting scrambled. i tried the xinerama extension. it worked fine. so why am i not able to tell the xfree to leave the other card completely alone??? my ideal would be matrox mill as bios primary and nvidia agp as bios secondary; the matrox as the card doing the ttys/vts and optionally an unmodified (keyb & mouse) xfree86 and the modified (with the hack for 2nd keyb & mouse and xfree-only) xfree for the nvidia card. i did not include the xfree output because it would make this mail very large. if somebody needs it, i will send it, but please tell me the configuration you would like to have a look at.
i don't have any ideas anymore... does anybody have an idea what i can do to prevent scambling the non-xfree screen? i don't mind hacking my xfree (2nd), but what and where... thanks, L* -- GMX - Die Kommunikationsplattform im Internet. http://www.gmx.net _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
