Well I hope you'll find Ive done due diligence here before you go
popping cards. Yes I'm definately using the same PCI BusID in both
sections and yes to Screen 0, Screen 1. Yes Ive been using -37.
Setup details:
Primary monitor = NEC LCD 1860 connected via DVI. ( I call it the
primary becuase its the console boot monitor)
Secondary is the Dell P991 connected via VGA/DVI adapter.
Im suspecting some issue with the DDC probe(?): The the primary LCD
works fine and the Dell CRT powers on but then the front panel sync
light starts flashing which Im guessing means its being driven with the
wrong sync. The LCD is running straight DVI from card to display but as
the Dell is running through a VGA/DVI adapter ( FireGL is dual DVI )
Im wondering if the DDC can work through the adapter. Or does it need
to since Im specifying vertical / horizontal refresh in my Monitor
section? I have the 'MonitorLayout' line in there because without it I
get zilch.
Two other things that might be significant:
1) My Intel AGP is a little too new and requires an
> options agpgart agp_try_unsupported=1
in modules.conf. I suppose thats relevant only for DRI which is only
supported on the fglrx drivers.
2) I notice in the X log below that EDID reports only on Monitor _2_ and
calls it the NEC?
Anyway on to the details:
