I have 3 video cards in this computer. I have not had any problems with
all three working at the same time under Xfree86 4.2. My old
configuration was ATI Xpert 128 PCI (primary card), Matrox Millenium PCI
(second card), ATI 3D Rage Pro AGP (third card). I just bought an ATI
Radeon 7500 PCI and made that my primary card. So now my setup is ATI
Radeon 7500 PCI (primary card), ATI Xpert 128 PCI (second card), ATI 3D
Rage Pro AGP (third card); this card has been disabled because I only
have two monitors right now. My problem is this, and I remember running
into this same problem a year ago when I first starting experimenting
with multiple video cards. I can get both cards working and GDM comes up
fine, but when Gnome comes up I have access to only one monitor and when
I try to move to the second monitor there is “resistance.” It won’t “go”
and the screens just lock up. The mouse still moves, but NOTHING else
works. No Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, Ctrl+Alt+Del, console switching, nothing.
I have to shut the computer off with the power button. The only way I
fixed this before was by using KDM. I don’t like KDM and don’t want to
use it. Has anyone else seen this problem? I am attaching my XF86Config
file for those who want to have a look. I think the problem lies in GDM
though. Also, sorry about the message from Outlook; can’t get Linux
working, see above :-) . Thanks, William
