XFree86 -scanpci not able to detect second graphic card

[caefer]

hi there,

well, in fact running 'XFree86 -scanpci' does not create any output..

I have two graphic cards installed: one Matrox Millenium G400 over agp and another S3 Virge over pci. I am running X perfectly on the matrox.

But I wanted multimonitor support, so I read this:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Xinerama-HOWTO/

to manually configure the second card, it says to run 'XFree86 -scanpci' and go on according to the output. but there is none...

any ideas?

thanls! that helped.
but now I'm in front of some new problems.

I edited my XF86Config as stated at the bottom of this post.
when I start X with this configuration, the secondary monitor (ATI Mach64/15er) initializes, then the X server collapses.
leaving the secondary monitor on displaying the name of the gfx card (ATI264...).
Following error message occurs:

<snap>
(WW) VGA: No matching device section for instance (BusID: PCI:1:0:0) found

Fatal Error:
AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 1
</snap>

this makes me wonder, since the agp card (1:0:0) alone works very well.

I am not sure, but I think you should un-comment the line that says:
# BusID "PCI:1:0:0"

I just saw, that somehow the line with the agp bus id is commented out.
that's a mistake I made in the post but not within my config file.
(it doesn't work either)

this id is taken from 'X -sf86config -verbose' 's output. so it should be right.
