Well, |
| 2 |
I have pcie geforce6600 board primary |
| 3 |
and pci riva tnt2 as secondary with xinerama, |
| 4 |
drivers |
| 5 |
=media-video/nvidia-kernel-1.0.7664 |
| 6 |
=media-video/nvidia-glx-1.0.7664 |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Primary card is controlled by nvidia module, secondary with nv driver. |
| 9 |
A shame, composite crashes after run xcompmgr. |
| 10 |
I have modified xorg.conf (v6.8.2-r2) following steps on gentoo-wiki.org. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
So the problem is in xorg xinerama code? |
