Re: Two Nvidia cards, and black screen

[Andrej v. d. Z. <ma...@ya...>]

Hi,

I am having the same problem with the two NVidia cards
GeForce4 MX4000 AGP 8x and GeForce FX5200 PCI on
Debian unstable with Ruby patched kernel 2.6.12. I am
using the NVidia driver version 7676.

I read somewhere that I should use the -sharevts
option when starting the second X server. I tried, but
this option is not recognized. How should I do this?

Thanks a bunch!

Andrej
