As you don't explain exactly how the cards do not work...let me
guess....you are totally certain that your power supply has enough
wattage to supply that many Radeon cards? I've always thought that video
cards are incredibly hungry for juice. I wonder what substituting a
bigger power supply will do.
PSU was replaced with one rated at twice the output already. And we're talking
about PCI radeon 9250, not HD48xx :o)
It works fine with F8 up to kernel 2.6.24.7-92.fc8. After that, mostly OK, but
locks up after anything from an hour to a day, and can trigger a "hard" freeze
by running a few 3D apps then (oddly) quitting one of them.
As F8 was near EOL when I discovered the latter, it's NOT been filed as a bug.
So it doesn't exist ;o)
Anyway, I don't really consider having two or three graphics cards to in any way
be an "edge case" since X always was designed to support multiple displays.
