OS/Version: Linux (All)
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Server/general
AssignedTo: nouveau-PD4FTy7X32lNgt0PjOBp9y5qC8QIuHrW@public.gmane.org

X.org log demonstrating the error
When starting the X server, it detects that there are "More than one possible
primary device found"
(!!) More than one possible primary device found
(--) PCI: (0@3:0:0) nVidia Corporation G94 [GeForce 9600 GT] rev 161, Mem @

0xf8000000/16777216, 0xd0000000/268435456, 0xf6000000/33554432, I/O @

The X server will then attempt to invoke the VESA driver instead of the Nouveau
driver (this is on the Fedora 11 Nouveau Test Day LiveCD)
Ultimately it will fail with:
Fatal server error:
AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0
However, if I manually add the following to an xorg.conf file, it loads
correctly.
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
BusID "PCI:3:0:0"
Driver "nouveau"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard1"
BusID "PCI:5:0:0"
Driver "nouveau"
EndSection
The correct behavior of the X server should be to automatically generate these
entries for each card.
