[Solved] Dual view setup - virtual console unuseable

Hi everyone,

xorg-server 1.5.3-4
kernel26 2.6.27.10-1 (same problem with 2.6.27.8-1)
nvidia-173xx 173.14.12-2 (GPU: nVidia NV34 [GeForce FX 5200])

After configuring Xorg for a dual view setup I experience a problem: When I switch to any of the virtual consoles tty1-6 the cursor is stuck in the upper left corner blinking, input works but the screen doesn't refresh after it's filled - rendering it unuseable.

xorg.conf:

Right now I'm setting "Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "CRT"" in the Device-Section of Screen 0 (DFP-0) to trigger an Xorg-error for the second screen (CRT-0 = LCD TV); this brings back useable virtual consoles, but no second screen though.

I did play around with some of the options in the Device-Section (eg. Option "LoadKernelModule" "false") and tried to google similar bug-reports, but no luck yet... so any hint where to look next is much appreciated.

Also I'm not sure... could this be related to http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=61440?

Thx, Martin

Re: [Solved] Dual view setup - virtual console unuseable

Finally, after hours of experimenting with different Xorg-Settings...

Enabling framebuffer consoles by adding vga=xxx (xxx=789 here) to my kernel line in /boot/grub/menu.lst resulted in useable virtual consoles with the above setup... smile

Edit: Initially virtual consoles worked, but I ran into another issue - as soon as I would restart X via telinit 3 -> telinit 5 all virtual consoles would black out completely - accepting input but no way to bring them back... Solution: Added

options nvidia NVreg_UseVBios=0

to /etc/modprobe.conf as described in http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=120492.

Cheers, m.
