Hi, first: Thanks for your work to get this killer feature running. I'm trying to get the local-multiconsole up but am still running into problems: I installed the debian kernel-sources from schuldei. Build them installed them, everything's fine: cat /proc/bus/console/*/* isa0060/serio0/input0 usb-0000:00:02.2-1.4/input0 It seems my 2nd keyboard is on vt18. vt17 is ...? I've got a NVIDIA 5600xt. This card has two vga out, but only one PCIbusID: PCI:2:0:0 (AGP). My XF86Config looks like this: ... Section "Device" #DFP (converter) Identifier "nvidia0" VendorName "nvidia" BoardName "asus" Driver "nvidia" Option "NvAGP" "3" Option "NoLogo" "true" Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT-0" Screen 0 EndSection Section "Device" #CRT Identifier "nvidia1" VendorName "nvidia" BoardName "asus" Driver "nvidia" Option "NvAGP" "3" Option "NoLogo" "true" Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT-1" Screen 0 EndSection ... Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "sesam0" Screen "sesam0" # Screen 1 "sesam1" rightof "sesam0" <--this works if enabled! InputDevice "logitech0" InputDevice "keyboard0" # Option "SingleCard" "true" ???meaning # Option "PrefBusID" "PCI:2:0:0" ???meaning EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "sesam1" Screen "sesam1" InputDevice "logitech1" InputDevice "keyboard1" # Option "SingleCard" "true" # Option "PrefBusID" "PCI:2:0:0" EndSection I downloaded the deb packges for X from schuldei (compiling X is a horror), did two links X0 and X1 to XFree86. Modified my gdm.conf: 0=Standard0 -layout sesam0 vt7 1=Standard1 -layout sesam1 vt18 [server-Standard0] name=Standard server0 command=/usr/local/bin/X0 -deferglyphs 16 -nolisten tcp -audit 0 flexible=true [server-Standard1] name=Standard server 1 command=/usr/local/bin/X1 -deferglyphs 16 -nolisten tcp -audit 0 flexible=true BUT!!! If I start gdm following happens: sesam0 on CRT-0 gets started (got picture every thing's fine) but if sesam1 is started the first console goes into sleepmode and the second console is fired up (on wich everything's fine). So I can't work on both console at the same time :-(((. I got exactly the same behavior on an unpatched kernel (though I could switch between vt7 and vt8 and switched from one console to the other). What did I do wrong? What do the X options PrefBusID, SingleCard exactly mean? Could this be a flaw in the Nvidia drivers? Though it works if used with two screens and "LeftOf". BTW: I'm not useing framebuffer, just VGA. Took me 4 days to get this far...don't tell me it's not working :-) Thanks for help, and sorry for the long posting. Peter |
