multiple video cards error

[popeye42]

There are four PCI video cards on the mainboard. They are the same with each other. I have written the driver myself running in XFree86 4.2.0. The four video cards work fine in Redhat 7.0 when setting "xinerama" in the config file.

Then I upgrade the driver in order to run in Xorg 1.6.4. The new driver can only make the primary video card work fine in Fedora 10(XServer version is 1.6.4) . But it cannot make four video cards work fine at the same time when setting "xinerama" in the config file. In the log I find that it can read rom of the primary video card. But it cannot read roms of the other video cards. The Xserver reports an error:
Cannot read V_BIOS (3) Input/output error
The driver cannot read or write I/O ports except the primary video card.

Any comments on this question would be appreciated.

You are not likely to find much help for Fedora 10. Try Fedora 11/12.

Considering that he's writing his own driver, he's not likely to get much help here period regardless of version.


@ popeye42

I could be wrong about that though, I'm wrong a lot...

But it just seems like this is something that you would be better off using a mailing list for. Try http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
