Re: dual-head

I think it's something in my BIOS. Along with the TNT2 I obtained a PCI Matrox Millennium II. With the AGP TNT2 inserted, kudzu did not notice the addition of the Matrox card or the removal of the Voodoo 2 card. After removing the AGP TNT2 card, however, both changes were noticed by kudzu. The discrepancy comes from the fact that lspci lists all cards properly, but kudzu and X don't see the PCI cards when an AGP card is inserted.

I'm now trying to get dual-head configured with the Matrox and Voodoo cards.

I have a fully updated Fedora Core 1 installation, with the 2.4.22-1.2174.nptlsmp kernel. I've been using a PCI Voodoo2 with the tdfx driver for a long time with no problems. I recently installed an AGP Riva TNT2 and loaded the nvidia proprietary driver and nvidia-glx from the livna.org repository. The TNT2 card works quite nicely. But X no longer sees the Voodoo2 card, so I can't get dual-head up and running. I tried installing Alan Cox's Voodoo driver from the fedora-test-list list, but it had the same result. The X log says this

(WW) TDFX: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:0:11:0) found

And lspci confirms that this is the right ID

00:0b.0 VGA compatible controller: 3Dfx Interactive, Inc. Voodoo 3 (rev 01)

Is dual-head supported limited to combinations of PCI cards under Linux?
