[SOLVED] Problems running two video cards / 4 monitors
I'm having some trouble getting 4 monitors working across two video cards to create one large virtual display space.
This is on a machine running the most recent 2.6.37 64-bit kernel running nouveau.
At this point I don't know if it's the nouveau driver not doing something right, or if something in my configuration is not right. I'm also open to the possibility of using a driver other than nouveau.
I can get two monitors running from a single video card on this machine without too much trouble, however when I try to bring up two additional monitors using a second dual-DVI video card, the local displays hang. I can ssh into the machine after this happens, but killing the X processes does not release the displays, and I am forced to reboot.
The video card that drives the first two (working) monitors is an nVidia GeForce 7600 GS, and the video card that drives the second (non-working so far) pair of monitors is an nVidia GeForce 7600 GT.
Both cards appear to be recognized properly by the system. They appear to be assigned different bus addresses, and I don't see any conflicts with other PCI devices.
relevant lspci output:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G73 [GeForce 7600 GS] (rev a1)
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G73 [GeForce 7600 GT] (rev a1)relevant dmesg output. At first glance, the system appears to recognize both cards, but it looks like video outputs never get assigned to the DVI outputs on the second card:

Re: [SOLVED] Problems running two video cards / 4 monitors
I am on my laptop, but my desktop runs 3 monitors on 2 Nvidia 8800GTS. I've hooked up 4 for giggles.
I would suggest you use the actual nvidia drivers - at least at first to prove that the 4 monitor/2 card setup CAN work. Then, move back to the noveau drivers armed with the xorg.conf that nvidia-settings can generate.
I could pull the config files from my desktop later when I get home if you can't make any progress.

Re: [SOLVED] Problems running two video cards / 4 monitors
I've switched over to the actual nvidia drivers and gone through what nvidia-settings can do.
At this point I cannot get an X session to come up on any of the monitors, but at least the displays don't hang, so I can get back to a text display with Ctrl-Alt-Bksp.
I've verified that none of the X config files contains any references to the nouveau driver or to options that the nvidia driver might not like, such as 'dri'.
No errors show up in Xorg.0.log. There are a few warnings, but they appear to be mostly related to usual X issues like missing font directories and not finding an ACPI socket - nothing that I'd think would prevent the server from coming up. I've also tried turning off the "NoLogo" option in the driver config to see if I could at least get the displays to show the nVidia logo. That didn't work - no change in overall behavior.
I've also trimmed the virtual screen down to 4096x1024 because the server complained that 5120x1024 (4 monitors running at 1280x1024) was too large of a virtual desktop. Once I get this setup working, then I can try to figure out some way to address that, since I'd really like to be able to run at 1280x1024 all the way across.
The log shows what appears to be pretty normal operation. Both cards are recognized, and the monitors connected to both cards are also recognized.

Re: [SOLVED] Problems running two video cards / 4 monitors
I tried the newest nvidia drivers - assuming these are the right drivers for my setup:
[root@bitbucket ~]# pacman -Q | grep -i nvidia
nvidia-173xx 173.14.28-5
nvidia-173xx-utils 173.14.28-1however this did not improve the situation. Now, the driver throws ABI warnings and the server segfaults.

Re: [SOLVED] Problems running two video cards / 4 monitors
you should be using the main nvidia drivers 270 series

Re: [SOLVED] Problems running two video cards / 4 monitors
Ok. I replaced the drivers with the main nvidia drivers:
[root@bitbucket ~]# pacman -Q | grep -i nvidia
nvidia 270.41.03-1
nvidia-utils 270.41.03-1After some experimentation with X server configs, I got video on all four monitors, with one large (5120x1024) desktop spanning across all of them.
There might still be some tweaking to do, but so far, everything seems to work pretty well.
Some of the screen savers in Xscreensaver don't like having a desktop this size (Apple2 and XAnalogTV for example), and most will treat the desktop as two separate 2560x1024 desktops, but I'm not overly concerned about that.
Below is my 10-monitor.conf:

Re: [SOLVED] Problems running two video cards / 4 monitors
When you maximize a window does it cover all the screens or only the one that it is on when maximizing?
In Xinerama I love that I can maximize windows on each screen. I tried something like that with twinview and the maximized window cover both screens.
(the third one is still on its own X screen, for now)
