I have a few questions on running unpatched X versus running patched X with the ruby patched 2.4.21 kernel: It says in the "Quick XFree" documentation: Set up it with command: $ echo "1" > /proc/bus/pci/hackvideo Ordinarily XFree86 for i386 architecture use native built in XFree86 functions to steer PCI. Please add necessary lines in /etc/X11/XF86Config file, which tell XFree86 to use Linux /proc filesystem interface: Section "ServerFlags" Option "PciOsConfig" "1" EndSection After this XFree86 is ready for multiple independed heads without recopiling from source. Of course i recommend usage of "2" (idea by Kim "kill" Lilliestiena) XFree86 patch. 1. I cannot find any info on that serverflags option, is it described anywhere? 2. Do you have to initialize /proc/bus/pci/hackvideo every time with a "1" before starting X? 3. Why is patch "2" preferred to using an unpatched X (in my case Debian X 4.2.1)? I cannot run the patched binary from http://startx.times.lv/XFree86-patched.bz2 because I get an "rejected from local host" error and I suspect that it is because it is not compiled with gcc 3.3 while the X that I have is.
