-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 YEAH! I finally got a dual head system set up and running with a Matrox G450 card. My only question is if the issue of framebuffer re-initalization when exiting X was ever resolved? When I Exit X on the primary head (a mga device) it grabs the frame buffer for the secondary head (the fbdev device) A switch to vt8 and back to vt7 fixes this, but most of my roommates are not so understanding of this quirk. is there A. A quick fix or scriptwrapper that could cause the neccessary framebuffer shifts? B. A way to prevent the graphics card form re-initializing? Random note, I found that joymouse was a great alternative to getting a new usb mouse for the second head. It uses an existing joystick and converts it into a mouse. I have had a few problems of usb devices swapping amongst themselves (joystick/keyboards) and it caused havok until I changed the --vt5x statement to reflect the new position of the keyboard. ~Joshua -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDVcs7yZ4qqW21pBoRApT5AJ0QGWyPmBN/V51OgUhbJz05QvfDvwCgk+jj SiY7E7khxnB4UGSdXdN5+6o= =B+ou -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- |
