Pointers and Suggestions?
|
From: James v. Z. <ja...@dv...> - 2004-05-13 02:39:50

here's my intended target application:
4 head "serverstation"
big P4, 2Gb DDR
1 x GF AGP, video-in, video-out
3 x GF PCI
VMware 4.5 ( up and running )
AGP = X login, video + media use
PCI1 = automatic login to restricted account and launch windoz 2003
server in a full-screen VMware session.
PCI2 = automatic login to restricted account and launch windoz XP Pro in
a full-screen VMware session.
PCI3 = X login, administrative use, miscellaneous virtual machines.
Currently using a 2800+Athlon, 1Gb for testing. It has an AGP dual head
+ one TNT2 CPI
- Can one patch 2.6.5-ruby kernel source to 2.6.6-ruby, or must the cvs
be patched, and then applied to 2.6.6 source ? -
I have successfully compiled 2.6.5-ruby and created a prefbusid version
of XFree86-4.3.0-55 rpm by adding the patch and prep entries to the
source rpm's .spec file
That's been installed on two test boxes using
rpm -Uvh XFree86-4.3.0-55.i686.rpm --force
replacing the stock executables in the fedora core installations.
I am happy to compile RH9, FC1, and FC2 (when released and I have) rpm
packages
I've then looked at editing /etc/X11/XF86Config
I have successfully started two X servers, and had VMware sessions
running full screen in both, which says to me that this is eventually
going to work pretty much exactly as I want it to.
Catch is the startup does not seem to be consistent. As often than not,
X is crashing when I start the second X session. I had it working fine
one day, the next it wouldn't work. Yesterday I had it working briefly.
Symptom seems to be more frequently occuring that I try to start the
second server first time and a connection is rejected. If I try again, I
lose the console.
I have it working right now, only thing I did differently that I can
think of is that I tried a
startx -- -layout PCI-Console
first to confirm the PCI card was OK...closed that, then started AGP
then second PCI session. I also removed a keyboard1 input reference....
Since it hasn't been consistent yet, I thought I ask for some pointers
and suggestions...
from here, I'd be wanting two login at runlevel5, with no X gripes, and
then the restricted users, auto login and custom .xinitrc ?
This is the XF86Config from one box, intended 1xAGP dual head login,
1xPCI login:
Two examples of; one configuration has the AGP dual-head configured as
Xinemera, the other as another screen ( and hence desktop etc...)
Second login is configured for a PCI TNT2, using nVidia drivers...
