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?
