AA Posted November 25, 2002 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2002 Well I have learned that if you want to run 2 screen cards (AGP & PCI)where one supports hardware acceleration and the other one doesn't there aint no way in hell you're gonna run them both at the same time and still have hardware acceleration on the AGP card. That's my conclusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 Well I have learned that if you want to run 2 screen cards (AGP & PCI)where one supports hardware acceleration and the other one doesn't there aint no way in hell you're gonna run them both at the same time and still have hardware acceleration on the AGP card. That's my conclusion. That's probably correct. But I know that with a card that has dual heads, you can have 3D going, as I played Quake 3 and UT2K3 on a monitor and TV at the same time once. I think it's a driver limitation, and it may even state that in the readme file, not too sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero0w Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 It's not good to hear that. Hopefully the future version of XFree86 will improve on this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted November 26, 2002 Report Share Posted November 26, 2002 It is unfortunate, but I doubt this issue will ever be tackled in XFree as the requirement is not too common, perhaps bring it to someone who can make a differences' attention?

DOlson Posted November 27, 2002 Report Share Posted November 27, 2002 You may want to look at /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/README and see if it has any info about it though. I *think* this is an NVidia driver problem and not an XFree problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vdubjunkie Posted March 22, 2003 Report Share Posted March 22, 2003 Sorry, I'm just having a bad day..... Thanks for saying sorry SoulSe, I guess we all have bad days sometimes. lets hope this thread continues peacefully. I don't want to start deleting posts. Anon. Moderator Fact is Soul made a very vaild point. A guy posts a question and instead of being pointed in the right direction, he is attacked over his choice. Seems to me a better reply could have been: Go to the following links to help you config dual monitor. http:.... http:.... by the way, in my humble opinion (IMHO if you prefer) that card isn't much better than another for less money. Just a thought. More people might make the plunge into the world of linux if they saw friendly helpful people assisting noobs with their questions.
