Further exploartion has showed that th= e ATI X driver won't get properly isolated - when I switch to the conso= le on the nVidia, the ATI monitor gets blank too.=20 I have solved this temporarily by using an old PCI S3 Trio 64V2/DX or /= GX card. If anybody has success with ATI Rage IIC, please let me know..= (BTW - it seems to me that BIOS of the S3 card won't allow any other P= CI VGA card - when both ATI and S3 are in it starts beeping when starti= ng the S3 server..) Also, I had problem with two X desktops on the primary display - it did= n't work until I started each of the X servers with a separate symlinke= d binary.=20 If there's anybody interested, I can post my gdm.conf and XF86Config-4'= s..
