Hello!
I'm working on a multiseat configuration.
I tested it with a 256kb Sis card, and it worked fine (even if the 2nd
seat was an ugly 640x480, 16 colors).
So I bought on eBay a brand-new Nvidia GeForce FX 5200 PCI, and now I'm
having problems (yes, the 5200 alone works smoothly!).
My lspci now reports these cards:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 7300 GS
(rev a1)
05:01.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX
5200] (rev a1)
and both are reported by nvidia-settings.
On 7300 there are two LCDs, on 5200 a single one.
I'm still running X11R6.9 while waiting for the official packages of the
7.1.
The /etc/xorg.cfg (essential parts) is

To start the system in runlevel 4 I use kdm with the following
/opt/kde/share/config/kdm/kdmrc (essentials):
[General]
ConsoleTTYs=tty1,tty2,tty3,tty4,tty5,tty6
ReserveServers=:2,:3
ServerVTs=-7,-8
StaticServers=:0, :1
[X-:0-Core]
ServerCmd=/usr/X11R6/bin/X -layout one
ServerVT=7
[X-:1-Core]
ServerCmd=/usr/X11R7/bin/X -layout two
ServerVT=7
So, what is wrong with the new Nvidia?
And why, if I revert to a text console, I have characters the size of
those of the VIC-20 (40 in a line)?
Thanks for the support!
