Hi Ruby Cognoscendi! After a long planning period, got: 2 IBM Model M PS/2 keyboards with ps/2 mini dins (where the mini-dins for kbd + mouse go) 2 A4tech optical mice with USB (in the 2 usb ports) 1 video card AGP NVidia RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro (in the AGP slot) 1 video card PCI NVidia GeForce4 MX 440 (in a PCI slot) 2 Samsung 17" 750s monitors, one in AGP video card other in PCI video card On Debian got the latest XFree .deb package from http://www.schuldei.org/debian/bruby Installed 2.4.21 vanilla kernel and applied the patch bruby-2.4.21-20030615.diff Also installed the NVidia kernel module with their .run ( no parameters used) PROBLEM: I can start xdm or startx on the AGP monitor (which comes up first because I changed the BIOS init_display_first to AGP, default=pci) by: "startx -- /usr/X11R6/bin/X0 :0 -xf86config XF86Config-4.ruby -prefbusid 1:0:0 vt7" and X starts and I have mouse and kbd. But I cannot: "startx -- /usr/X11R6/bin/X1 :1 -xf86config XF86Config.new -prefbusid 0:11:0 vt9" under X or anywhere without getting: "Failed to init NVidia module" Which I don't understand: if he can find it in XF86Config-4.ruby why not in XF86Config.new since the only diff between the 2 is the mouse device? THE DOCUMENTATION: 1. dmesg here: http://home.planet.nl/~woerk095/dmesg 2. lsmod here: http://home.planet.nl/~woerk095/lsmod 3. cat /proc/bus/console/*/* here: http://home.planet.nl/~woerk095/console 4. cat /proc/input/devices here: http://home.planet.nl/~woerk095/input 5. cat /proc/usb/devices here: http://home.planet.nl/~woerk095/usb 6. config for :0 here: http://home.planet.nl/~woerk095/XF86Config-4.ruby 7. config for :1 here: http://home.planet.nl/~woerk095/XF86Config.new 8. log for :0 here: http://home.planet.nl/~woerk095/XFree86.0.log 9. log for :1 here: http://home.planet.nl/~woerk095/XFree86.1.log I surely missed something in the documentation (latest HowTo). But... I would be very willing to tackle updating a Ruby FAQ, so that these kind of questions can be avoided. As it is, I found it not necessary to hide the NVidia lib because both cards can use the closed source driver. (I have used the driver on both cards singly, but never together...) Thanks! Hugo.
