Re: Two Nvidia cards, and black screen

[<han...@sa...>]

Hi,

I disabled NVRestore from the nv driver, and now the monitor won't go to=20
sleep anymore, however the picture on the monitor freezes (all movement=20
stops), the mouse-pointer dissapears, and input from the keyboard is not=20
accepted anymore.

As soon as I stop the second X server, activity on the first X server=20
resumes (mouse and keyboad become active again). So things are moving in=20
the right direction. Would you have any idea what to do about the=20
freezing of the mouse/keyboad?

Thanks,
Hans
