Subject: multiple X displays and nvidia
Date: Tue, 06 Apr 2004 11:35:33 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <407279E5.9040805@arrakis.es> (raw)
PII 266 Mandrake-9.2. Icewm 1.2.13pre3. XDM. XFree86 4.3.
This machine also has (or rather, HAD) an X display exported from:
PIV 1.8 G Mandrake-9.2. GDM. XFree86 4.3. (Started from inittab).
The PII has a dual monitor display using Xinerama. Both video cards used
the nv driver. Since installing nvidia drivers, only the remote display
from the PIV starts. Commenting out the line in inittab allows the local
display to start, after which trying to start the remote display from
the command line fails. In both cases, the error message in
XFree86.0.log or XFree86.1.log is:
(EE) NVIDIA(0): Failed to allocate external video decoder object
(EE) NVIDIA(0): *** Aborting ***
Fatal server error:
AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0
Any ideas anyone?
TIA
Andrew
