|
| Got a new video card today and I'm working on getting my computer all ready for it. Is there a program I can use to add it to Xorg.conf? |

Does xorgconfig care about secondary GPU`s ? Dunno...
Anyway:
Simply use "lspci" to get die Bus-adresses of your cards:
| Code: | bash-2.05b# lspci

In my system you can see there a two Adapters, a GF6600@AGP(1:00.0) and a GF5200@PCI(3:0d.0)
Now compare with my xorg.conf:
| Code: |
Section "Device"
BoardName "Xfx Geforce 6600GT Ausgang #1"
BusID "1:0:0"
Driver "nvidia"
Identifier "AGP-1"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT-0"
Option "NvAGP" "1"
#Option "Multisamplecompatibility" "1"
#Option "NoLogo" "1"
Screen 0
VendorName "NVidia"
EndSection
Section "Device"
BoardName "Xfx Geforce 6600GT Ausgang #2"
BusID "1:0:0"
Driver "nvidia"
Identifier "AGP-2"
Option "ConnectedMonitor" "CRT-1"
Option "NvAGP" "1"
#Option "Multisamplecompatibility" "1"
#Option "NoLogo" "1"
Screen 1
VendorName "NVidia"
EndSection
Section "Device"
BoardName "Xfx Geforce FX 5200"
BusID "3:11:0"
Driver "nvidia"
Identifier "Device3"
#Option "NoLogo" "1"
Screen 0
VendorName "NVidia"
EndSection

All you now need to know, is that a hexadecimal "d" is a decimal "13"...(compare BusID) |

| 'X -configure' should create the new entries in the xorg.conf. But if you do know the PCI ID it is not hard to manually add the entries. Just duplicate the display, screen and device sections, modify as needed and modify server layout section to your taste. |
