My primary card is a NVIDIA Riva TNT 2, secondary is an ELSA Winner 2000/Office. When I try to use the glint driver for the second card everything seems to work fine, but if I try to use sound (eg. playing some file with xmms) and move the mouse on the second screen, my system freezes (NOT just XFree, so this seems to be some hardware issue
). Sound card is an ISA Soundblaster 16, using ALSA.I checked for shared IRQs, the ones for the video cards and sound are seperate.
However, this doesn't happen if I use the VESA driver for the second video card. Sadly vesa detects only 512 KB video RAM and ignores the VideoRam entry.
Any ideas how this might be solved or what additional information is needed?
(I'd be very happy if I could just use VESA with a video mode better than 640x480x8, too.
)Hope this helps:
