Q1: Anyone have a two video card CentOS 4.6 setup working?
<snip>
During testing with various cards (Matrox, ATI Radeon, nVidia) I do recall having all sorts of problems getting 2 ATI cards to work together in one machine. I think I eventually found some documentation (not sure where :-( ) that pointed to an issue where the second ATI card did not initialize properly. In fact, I seem to recall an ATI card would not initialize properly unless it was the primary video card, ie the ATI Radeon 7500 PCI needed to be set as primary in the bios over the Matrox G450 AGP in order for both to work.
Well, that offers hope if I decide to stick it in the machine with the Nvidia. Also, I've and old Diamond S3-based card I could pair up with one of the Radeons, set the Radeon as primary and see what happens (if I can set it in the BIOS - I looked and don't recall seeing a setting for it). If the BIOS has no setting, I could swap slots and see what happens.
Thanks for the thought.
