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
