TwinView Lock-Up RH8/9 v4349

[ammulder]

I have two LCD screens connected to a GeForce 4 4600 card (one analog, one digital). I was able to run TwinView with the previous (4191?) drivers under Red Hat 8. I can run the current 4349 drivers on one screen only under Red Hat 8 or Red Hat 9. If I try to run with TwinView enabled, my primary display goes to all vertical colored stripes, and the machine locks up (only reset button/power switch will do anything).

The motherboard is an MSI 6501, the CPUs are dual Athlon MP 2100+, tried both Red Hat 8 (2.4.18-27.8.0) and Red Hat 9 (2.4.20-8).

I'm attempting to attach my XF86Config and log file.

Here's the config file, since only the log came through last time

I should also note that when I try to use the ConnectedMonitor option (probably commented out in the config file I uploaded), I get the error:

failed to read mapping of display devices to CRTCs

And X won't start at all (doesn't get to the lockup point)

[ammulder]

I also tried the configuration where 2 separate X screens are used instead of 1 big one. This didn't work either. The first screen came up to the Nvidia logo, and then the system locked. The 2nd screen never got a video signal (it's little "no signal" screen saver stayed on throughout).

[ammulder]

So I booted to the single-processor kernel and re-installed the driver, and it works. Ugh.

[ammulder]

X crashed after about 30 minutes, but hey, at least it's progress... Message was:

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting

I guess it's back to Red Hat 8 / 4191 for now.

It sounds like you're hitting the known SMP/DVI bug. We're working on a fix.

Thanks!

Okay, thanks. Is there a place that lists known bugs? And will there be a way to get a fix before the next major driver release?

Thanks,
Aaron
