Second Xserver blank but mouse works

[sniff]

Hello,
I'm trying to setup 4 monitors as two separate twinview screens. I'm starting simple but failing at the start.

I have a motherboard with a 780a chipset, which I currently have one monitor installed on. This works, I also have a 8600GT installed in the system with two monitors connected but I'm trying to get one working with a separate Xserver. I want this to be a completely separate session.

Currently one screen works, running of the 780a, the second screen is accessible with the mouse, but it doesn't have anything running on it. Its blank. The active screen is Above the blank mouse only screen.

There is also a 9800gx2 in the system but this is purely for CUDA and not to be used for screens.

xorg.conf is below.

Anyone any clue? This system is Opensuse 11.0.

Few updates.

If I press ctrl+alt+F8 I get what should be the second screen with a flashing curser in the top corner on the correct monitor.

The following appears in the Xorg.0.log and Xorg.1.log files frequently.

(II) Screen 1 shares mem & io resources

It looks like the first Xserver is using the seconds resourdes or something? There are no meaningful error messages in the logs.

I gave up on the separate Xscreen with login etc. So I now have 4 Xscreen connected by Xinerama. It does much the same job...
