 |
|
Hello.
Well, everythings works OK if I only use my main GPU & monitor with this xorg.conf
But since I cant plug a second monitor in my main GPU, I want to use my onboard GPU to connect the secondary monitor, and for this I use this second xorg.conf.
Using this second xorg.conf, second monitor seems to work correctly, but X freezes randonmly ~75% times it starts or exists in any way (exiting X, starting another X session, switching to another X session started or switching to an vt) getting "NO SIGNAL" message in the main monitor. Music still playing, but "ctrl + alt + backspace" to exits X and return to vt doesn't work, and soft power off via power button works sometimes, and sometimes doesn't... and I have to force reboot. So I presume the point isn't just monitors don't reciving signal.
To make it weirder, ~20% times it freezes, it also resets xorg.conf, becoming empty.
The log of one of this freezes.
More information:
emerge --info

(But it happens with older versions of xorg/nvidia-drivers/kernel too)
Thank you.
Edit / new info: It freezes in the same way using only the main graphic board & monitor (first xorg.conf), but the ratio of the freezes is much lower. Now I think the problem maybe is not directly related with using 2 gpu + 2 monitors but I have no idea about how to manage this strange fail.

Dont ask me why, but it works correctly setting the onboard GPU as main in the BIOS...
