I'm trying to run a second X server using the
framebuffer.
I applied the ruby-2.6 patch to vanilla kernel version
2.6.7. I recompiled XFree86 4.3.0 with the prefbusid
patch.
I start up my 1st X server (on an ATI card, not using
framebuffer) without a problem. Then from an xterm on
that server, I try starting the 2nd framebuffer X
server on a SiS card, and get the error below.
The 2nd server continues to run (though the screen it
is connected to is blank). When I ctrl+c it, the
screen my 1st server is on goes blank and is replaced
by a garbled image of what it used to look like (the
image doesn't change, maybe the 2nd X server accessed
the framebuffer on the 1st card).
I can still press CTRL+Alt+F1 and then CTRL+ALT+F7 to
get back to my 1st X server.
I am using the "prefbusid" option in the config files
for both servers. I also activated the 'hackvideo'
extension. (I ran echo 1 > /proc/bus/pci/hackvideo ).
My System:
ATI Radeon 7000 (1st X server, no framebuffer)
SiS 630 (2nd X server, using framebuffer)
Redhat 9 (i686)
gcc 3.2.2
XFree86 4.3.0
kernel 2.6.7 + ruby & SiS & ATI framebuffer drivers
What can I do about this problem?
The error message:
XFree86 Version 4.3.0

X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6
