I'm trying to get started with nouveau. I have it compiled, I have it
installed, but I'm having trouble working out the xorg.conf file.
My system has 3 video cards; one is a single DVI out, two are dual DVI
out. From the messages in the xorg log files, nouveau expects config for
DVI-I-0 and DVI-I-1, and so on. Going from the nvidia blob is not as
easy as changing nvidia to nouveau; all of the options are different and
the structure of the file is different.
Can someone who has a working nouveau xorg.conf with multiple cards and
dual DVI cards please put this on on the wiki? The wiki is really short
of info for casual user/developers like me. My time and knowledge are
limited so any help I get is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
--Yan

If you want a protocol screen per card, then that should be possible, minus possible nouveau bugs. Few people actually have a multi card setup, so a standard config isn't really available. You can try using this howto "http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12" and expand it to two (protocol) screens in your xorg.conf Maarten. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Thats not true, radeon runs fine in Xinerama with other radeons, X when pciaccess happened lost the ability to int10 post secondary cards, however if you have a driver that can post without int10 it should be okay. you can disable randr have have working Xinerama Intel are just being lazy. I'm not sure nouveau cares enough to bother implementing zaphod, but single head might be possible.

It's only when you introduce xinerama that randr needs to turn off and that has 0 to do with randr 1.2 it's always been true.
