SaX: initializing please wait SaX: your current configuration will not be read in
SaX: no X-Server running SaX: will start own server if needed SaX: ups lost card during probing... abort SaX: something went wrong while X was called with -probeonly SaX: try to call 'sax2 -p' and select a single device ? abort
prompt# sax2 -p Chip: 0 is -> Intel I815 00:02:0 0x8086 0x1132 PCI i810 Chip: 1 is -> ATI 3D Rage Pro 215GP 01:02:0 0x1002 0x4750 AGP ati
This _is_ _not_ the correct discripton for Chip 1 - Chip 1 is PCI _NOT_ AGP That is; _both_ video controllers are _PCI_ - a hardware requirement for dual monitor use of the Intel I81x chipset series.
(Which is correct by the way)
Wrong! Ignore above comment!
Monitor which returns DDC is on Chip 1
Motherboard BIOS : PhoenixBIOS Version 4.0 Release 6.0 HP Build: 04/11/01 9:10:45 IP.01.07US
Settings: Video Primary: PCI Multi-Display: Enabled
BIOS does not allow 'Multi-Display' to be enabled unless the non-embedded display is set as the BIOS primary.
This is not a flaky BIOS as I first thought, it is a hardware requirement. Ref: Intel 815 Chipset: Graphics Controller; Programmer's Reference Manual Section 2.3.1.1 Supported Single Monitor and Multi-monitor Configuratuinsl "For modern operating systems that have multiple monitor support, the primary graphics device must not be the Intel 815 chipset graphics controller or an AGP graphics card. These devices [internal gc or external AGP] can only serve as secondary graphics devices in a multi-monitor configuration. It is important to understand that there is no support for simultaneous operation of the internal graphics device and an AGP graphics card."
Note - this installation: The internal graphics device is PCI 0:2:0 The external graphics device is PCI 1:2:0 _and_ _not_ an AGP card (it is physically impossible to put an AGP card in this system). This configuration conforms to the first column of section "Multi-monitor" in configuration table on the page following the above quote. I.E: Primary monitor - Non-AGP (PCI) graphics card Secondary monitor - Internel Graphics With this hardware setup, it is important that sax2 detect the primary card as an ATI _PCI_ card not as an ATI _AGP_ card. (If your keeping score, this is problem #3 with sax2)
M$-WindowsXP will use either card/monitor as the primary monitor in either single or dual head display modes. (I.E: it switches to the card and non-DDC monitor when the graphic drivers load.)
