So it works until you run glxgears on both cards? or it blows up before then? could you try reboot, modprobe radeon and then starting X to see if it makes any difference? Dave.</blockquote><div> If I load the DRI module and use a layout (I generally try "DualDisplay"[1]) that activates both cards, X locks up the computer right around the time it blanks the screen. It doesn't respond to keyboard or any other input, and I have to do a hard reboot. Here's the log from my latest attempt: <a href="http://s88382932.onlinehome.us/files/Xorg.0.log-rc2">http://s88382932.onlinehome.us/files/Xorg.0.log-rc2</a> Rebooting and modprobing radeon beforehand does not seem to matter.
