Hi,
is there any multi-head aware framebuffer driver? There is some info in matroxfb.txt and I'm in contact with it's author Petr Vandrovec. Are there any other possibilities of running 4 different X servers with/without framebuffers? I'm curently trying XFree86 3.9.17 but it seems to not initialize secondary cards, only primary got initialized. Mark Volkovich wrote me about running setup with one AGP and 2 PCI cards but I can not get running even two PCI Matrox G200-SD though I got one AGP Diamond Viper V770 with one PCI Matrox running. PCI card must be set as primary in BIOS. If it is not, it is not initialized at boot time. XFree testing was done without framebuffer. I'll try matroxfb today or tomorrow.
Matroxfb seems to initialize every Matrox card it found. It has the option init which initialize them. Is it possible to extract the initialization so I can run the following and then try XFree? Peter? It is (probably) bug in XFree, but I must solve it almost immediatelly.
for PCI in 2:8:0 2:9:0 2:10:0 2:11:0 initialize_matrox_pci $PCI done
It is weird that Metro-X is known to work (well, I do not have it and even can not try it because in Czech you can got it in a week or so and this is very long for me).
If you have any working setup similar to my (i.e. 4 PCI videocards, does not matter if it is Matrox, does not matter if with or withou framebuffer), please let me know.
Thank you. -- Pavel Janík ml. Pavel.Janik@linux.cz
