cwhobbes Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Hey Now. I seem to require a little help in setting something up. I have an Nvidia 6600GT 256MB with 2 GPU's on a single card. What I would like to do is configure each GPU to run a separate screen. IE : GPU:0 running my monitor, and GPU:1 running my TV. (As opposed to right now where both screens are using GPU:0. I wonder if anyone has any ideas of how to get the Second GPU working, other than just idling all the time. Heres my Xorg. (It's probably a mess, hey it works) Section "Device" Identifier "Device[0]" Driver "nvidia" BusID "PCI:05:00:00" #adjust using 'lspci' or cat /proc/pci Screen 0 EndSection Section "Device" Driver "nvidia" Identifier "Device[1]" Screen 1 Option "TVOutFormat" "SVIDEO" #or SVIDEO etc Option "TVStandard" "PAL-I" #or NTSC, PAL-I for uk etc Option "ConnectedMonitor" "TV" BusID "PCI:05:00:00" #adjust using 'lspci' or cat /proc/pci EndSection Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "Simple Layout" Screen 0 "Screen[0]" Screen 1 "Screen[1]" LeftOf "Screen[0]" InputDevice "Mouse1" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard1" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" # font server independent of the X server to render fonts. # minimal fonts to allow X to run without xfs FontPath "unix/:-1" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/misc:unscaled" EndSection Section "Module" Load "dbe" # Double-Buffering Extension Load "v4l" # Video for Linux Load "extmod" Load "type1" Load "freetype" Load "/usr/lib/xorg/modules/extensions/nvidia/libglx.so" Load "glx" EndSection Section "ServerFlags" #DontZap # disable <Crtl><Alt><BS> (server abort) # allows the server to start up even if the mouse does not work #DontZoom # disable <Crtl><Alt><KP_+>/<KP_-> (resolution switching) Option "allowmouseopenfail" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse1" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "ExplorerPS/2" Option "Device" "/dev/mouse" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard1" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "gb" Option "XkbOptions" "compose:rwin" EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor[0]" #CRT HorizSync 30-95 VertRefresh 50-160 EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "Monitor[1]" #TV HorizSync 30-95 VertRefresh 60 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen[0]" Device "Device[0]" Monitor "Monitor[0]" DefaultDepth 24 Subsection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1280x1024" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection Option "DPMS" Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True" Option "AllowGLXWithComposite" "true" Option "RenderAccel" "true" Option "BackStoring" "True" Option "DisableGLXRootClipping" "true" EndSection Section "Screen" Device "Device[1]" Identifier "Screen[1]" Monitor "Monitor[1]" DefaultDepth 24 SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "800x600" EndSubSection EndSection #Section "Extensions" # Option "Composite" # Option "RENDER" "Enable" #EndSection Lspci shows: 04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600 GT] (rev a2) 05:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV43 [GeForce 6600 GT] (rev a2) Simply changing 0:5 to 0:4 in my xorg, fails to start x. No Matching Device Section for instance (BusID 04:00:00) found. Changing all instances of 05: to 04 should simply tell both screens to now run on the other GPU, like nothing has changed. Should it not ? I think the problem lies in that this card is somewhat "retarded". In that it is actually 2 x 128MB cards on a single board, that requires SLI for the two work together. The Card is a Gigabyte GV-3D1 Dual nVIDIA 6600GT PCI-E, and I am using the latest Nvidia Drivers. I'll keep noodling until I get it working. Pleese Halp.
