how to configure 4 monitors by two NVIDIA dualhead graphic cards
I am trying to configure 4 monitors by two NVIDIA dualhead graphic cards under SuSe9.2, but cannot make it anyhow. Can anyone give me some information about it or send me a xorg.conf file. Thank you very much!

Thank you very much! Hello GAO JIN,
I just got a 9.1 box, but I think this might be helpful. As far as I know the XF86Config and XOrg config are similar. I'm running an internal IBM and 'external' FX5200 with one monitor at each. lspci gives me info about the adresses of my graphic cards: hoellenmaschine:/home/damm # lspci 0000:00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE/PE DRAM Controller/Host-Hub Interface (rev 03) 0000:00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82845G/GL[Brookdale-G]/GE Chipset Integrated Graphics Device (rev 03) 0000:00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #1 (rev 02) 0000:00:1d.1 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #2 (rev 02) 0000:00:1d.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) USB UHCI Controller #3 (rev 02) 0000:00:1d.7 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-M) USB2 EHCI Controller (rev 02) 0000:00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 PCI Bridge (rev 82) 0000:00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL (ICH4/ICH4-L) LPC Interface Bridge (rev 02) 0000:00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801DB (ICH4) IDE Controller (rev 02) 0000:00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB/DBL/DBM (ICH4/ICH4-L/ICH4-M) AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) 0000:03:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1) 0000:03:06.0 Network controller: AVM Audiovisuelles MKTG & Computer System GmbH A1 ISDN [Fritz] (rev 02) 0000:03:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

In my PC, I had an nVidia Geforce FX 5200 card, with two connectors (VGA + DVI) and 128 MB video RAM. I connected two TFTs to it. In the boot phase (BIOS + Linux kernel), both worked and showed the text lines. As soon as X started, only one worked, and I could not get the other to display anything (with many tries at the X config file). I had this effect using both the free "nv" and nVidia's commercial driver, with SuSE 8.2 and 9.1 - really no luck. On recommendation by two colleagues I got me an old Matrox G 450 card (two VGA connectors, only 32 MB video RAM): It worked immediately! (Aside: with the Matrox even rotation works, so one screen is operated in landscape mode and the other in portrait - something which is admitted to be impossible on nVidia.) So I am sorry for you, but I propose to use another brand. HTH, Joerg Bruehe -- Joerg Bruehe - persoenliche Aeusserung / speaking only for himself mailto:joerg.bruehe@web.de
