 Posted: Sat Apr 21, 2007 9:45 pm Post subject: Triple Screen setup |
 |
|
I got a Radeon 7000 (PCI) and a spare monitor (Dell 2000FP) to hook up to my computer to complement my existing two monitors setup in TwinView on a 7800GT. After installing the card and drivers, I set the card as screen 2 in my xorg config. However, this has screwed up both the radeon and nvidia drivers.
When I do glxinfo on the cards hooked up to the nvidia display, I get "Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual" towards the end of the output. Direct rendering is working and the server glx vendor string reads NVIDIA Corporation. When I do glxinfo on the radeon display, I get the same thing.
When I do glxgears on the nvidia display, it works fine and I get 10k fps. When I do glxgears on the radeon display, I get "Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual".
Setting my opengl interface to "xorg-x11" rather than "nvidia" does not solve this problem.
Also, beryl has stopped working - it automatically falls back to standard metacity. Playing video on the monitor hooked up to the radeon 7000 is also very bad. It is very choppy. I am running it at 1600x1200x24 bpp.
Anyone have any experience with this kind of a set up? Maybe I should give each card a seperate X server rather than displays on one X server? Or can I get radeon/nvidia to play nicely? |

Hi,
you could start posting your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log after X was started.
best regards |

This looks like something goes wrong and should be the source of the issue.
What happens if only the ATI card is used by X or if you switch the order the cards are used? |
