[Thinstation-general] multiple video card problem

[B.J. K. <bj...@re...>]

I would like to have one build used by all of my clients, but a few of them have 
two video cards (savage on the motherboard, mga on PCI). This is so we can have 
DVI output in a small, silent machine. We don't care about the video on the 
motherboard, but these machines have no way to disable it.

If I build the initrd file with either the mga driver or the savage driver, it 
will work with the appropriate video interface. If I build with both drivers, it 
works fine on machines NOT configured with both of these video cards, and it 
doesn't work on either video card on machines that have both.

Knoppix (and likely others) allows you to add 'xmodule=mga' (for example) on the 
boot loader line to specify which module X should use. Can thinstation do this? 
Is there another way I can specify from thinstation.conf that a specific module 
should be used?
