Good morning! I am trying to set up a system with 4 displays. We are using an Nvidia GeForce MX440 AGP and three ATI Radeon 7000 PCI cards with XFree86 4.2.0 (from SuSE 8.0). I manage to run the nv and any one of the ati cards simultaneously with xinerama, but not more than one ATI card at a time. XFree gives me these errors: (WW) RADEON: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:2:13:0) found (EE) Screen 2 deleted because of no matching config section. Is this a known problem? Should it be possible tu use several PCI cards of the same type? My device and server layout sections look like this: Section "Device" BoardName "GeForce4 MX 440" BusID "PCI:1:0:0" Driver "nv" Identifier "Device[0]" VendorName "NVidia" EndSection Section "Device" BoardName "ATI Radeon VE" BusID "PCI:2:11:0" Driver "ati" Identifier "Device[1]" VendorName "ATI" EndSection Section "Device" BoardName "ATI Radeon VE" BusID "PCI:2:10:0" Driver "ati" Identifier "Device[2]" VendorName "ATI" EndSection Section "Device" BoardName "ATI Radeon VE" BusID "PCI:2:13:0" Driver "ati" Identifier "Device[3]" VendorName "ATI" EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Layout[all]" InputDevice "Keyboard[0]" "CoreKeyboard" InputDevice "Mouse[1]" "CorePointer" # Option "Clone" "off" Option "Xinerama" "on" Screen "Screen[0]" Screen "Screen[1]" Rightof "Screen[0]" Screen "Screen[3]" Rightof "Screen[1]" EndSection I tried setting it up by hand as well as using sax2. Sax2 did recocnice all 4 cards and let me arrange 4 monitors, but would also only show two displays when testing. Thank you, Stefan -- Stefan Heimers, Klingelbergstrasse 69, 4056 Basel http://free.superhits.ch/ http://www.heimers.ch/
