Thanks for providing the excellent Howto, Daniel.
You may have solved a problem which has been plaguing
us: X occasionally crashes after multiple
logouts/restarts. I suspect the problem may be related
to the fact that the secondary cards are being
unecessarily restarted with Int10. Your
xorg.conf.probe solution seems to be what I need, but
I have several questions:
1.
You wrote: "A single layout will be enough, as long as
it includes all secondary cards.".
However, the documentation in the xorg.conf.probe file
says "Declare only one layout, and without the
"SingleCard" option."
Two questions arise:
1. Are you using only one secondary card, with
multiple ports? If so, which board is it? We are
seeking a reliable, inexpensive multiport board.
2. In our case, we have multiple secondary cards which
must be initialized. Shouldn't we be using the
"SingleCard" (or "BusID") option for each of the cards
to be initialized?
Following are the "Device" sections from my xorg.conf.
I appreciate your assistance. This has been an awful
problem, Yitzhak
