https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=205051 Summary: multimonitor setup: sax defines the second graphic card as the first one Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: 32bit OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: SaX2 AssignedTo: ms@novell.com ReportedBy: timmi@gmx-topmail.de QAContact: qa@suse.de CC: timmi@gmx-topmail.de I've a computer with 2 (single head) graphic cards, one AGP and one PCI. When I define the AGP card as first card in the BIOS, then SAX defines the AGP card as the second one. When I define the PCI card as first card in the BIOS, then SAX defines the PCI card as the second one. So BIOS startup and linux startup are shown on one of the monitors (depending what card is defined as primary in the BIOS), but the KDM login manager is always shown on the other monitor. That's not very practical. I've noticed this behavior during reporting Bug 204416, so detailed description and log files are avaibele there. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I think I cannot influence that behaviour within the configuration. Normally the driver should use the same primary device like the BIOS uses but many drivers don't care Stefan ? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

It's really time to switch to a dualhead gfx card. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
