From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Andrew Langdon-Davies Subject: multiple X displays and nvidia Date: Tue, 06 Apr 2004 11:35:33 +0200 Sender: linux-newbie-owner@vger.kernel.org Message-ID: <407279E5.9040805@arrakis.es> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Return-path: List-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format="flowed" To: linux-newbie@vger.kernel.org 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?
