I saw this (agp entry in the config file) on either the gatos or Xpert list a while back, can't recall. I also noted it on the xfree86 doc site, although I can't at this point recall the specific reference. Since I was having problems getting my dual head to work, I figured I'd try anything, so I changed pci to agp. I don't really see that it made any difference either way. > > I would suggest you to test those two boards separately, > even with only one plugged, in order to find a working > single screen setup. increase complexity step by step: I've had the radeon ve working for a while as a single head solution, so I know that works. I've been wrestling with the dual head with two possible solutions: radeon ve vga and radeon ve dvi with a vga converter. The best this has gotten me is mirrored display on both monitors. radeon ve vga and the mach64 card. Recent attempts have locked my box up hard, requiring a power cycle. > > - running each board with only one board plugged I've done this with the radeon card, and have X running on it right now with this solution. > - running each board single head with tow boards plugged Currently running with both cards in, using the radeon ve. Works fine. > - running true dual head Have yet to get there with either solution mentioned above. Wary of attempting anything else in this box with the mach64 card based on recent issues. I'm looking to put it into another box that I'm not concerned with trashing the install, to see if I can get it configured. > > else you will get too manu uncertainties into your setup. > > If you find something to be instable, then retest your > hardware with an alternate OS that does drive multihead > as well.
