hi
So,i have a gigabyte GA-686BX motherboard ( set to boot AGP in BIOS ) with a
cirrus  CL-GD5465 4Mb Laguna 3D (AGP) from the pinegroup
http://www.pinegroup.com connected to a 17" monitor also a cirrus CL-GD5446
(PCI) 2Mb connected to a 15" monitor both work fine in windows.
The 5446 works fine when its set up on it's own in Linux S.u.S.E. after a
bit of tinkering.The problem is when i have both installed i cannot get the
server to start the GUI it either locks the computer with a black screen
with a few white dots or returns errno 111, mostly the computer locks up
totally.
As there is no card listed for Laguna or 5465 i have tried setting chipset
to the 5465 option and probing the ramdac and clock Is this correct? I have
also tried this with the clock set to cirrus and 230MHz as this is the
maximum of the card at 8bpp
i have tried the monitor at a basic SVGA 800x600 and all along the server
set to SVGA and many more options to go with it with no avail.
I have tried KDE, KDM no starter, also i have tried Red Hat Linux and get
the same thing a black screen with the system locked up...please help
One last thing...two screens two cards set-up in Linux S.u.S.E. with AGP and
PCI ?

thanx in advance
Dave
