I just remembered that I tried another nvidia card in place of the old RIVA TNT: a Geoforce 4. The problem was exactly the same so the problem isn't the old card. After rereading my bug post I see that I forgot to mention what I mean by "don't work": kdm starts (or tries to) but the login window is only partially drawn. X uses all cPU it can get. /etc/init.d/xdm stop is not enough, I have to SIGKILL X to get my CPU back. Could you please give 7.1 a try? Just add all your drivers (qlist -I xf86- will get you the list; qlist is from portage-utils) and xorg-server to /etc/portage/package.keywords with ~x86 next to each.

Things got better but not fixed. Now X works with the 3 heads in my ServerLayout but there is no image in the 3rd (RIVA TNT) monitor. But if I try to move a window to this thrid monitor I succed, i.e., X believes the 3rd monitor is working, I just have no image on it. Please file a bug at bugs.freedesktop.org in the xorg product, and post the URL here so we can track it. Thanks! I have just opened a bug on bugs.freedesktop.org: <https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7421> as requested. |
