 |

The second video card is an old PCI card. Here's my xorg.conf. All it does is stare at me with this:
| Code: | MATROX POWER GRAPHICS ACCELERATOR

In old DOS font.
Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Some questions in order to understan the situation better:
So you have a "primary" card, with a monitor and a tv connected, and they work. But you added the "secondary" card and a monitor, and you don't get X on that. Is this correct?
Did you try to use the secondary card only? (to see if the configuration for it is correct, and it doesn't work due to the interaction with the other)
And one last thing: you are using the standard vga driver for the "secondary" card. What card is it? (what does lspci say?) maybe a more specific driver exists..
