    ATI driver doesn't work with 2 VGAs installed on CrossFire system

    Hi all,
    my first post
    I trust this forum help all linux user, and mine is a distro wide problem.

    I'm looking for somebody that is running X with 2 Radeon on a CrossFire mainboard.
    I know that XFire is a tecnology available on for Windows and DirectX, but I want to know how to make working one VGA device in Linux without the needs of removing the other one.


    My expirience refer to:
    ASUS A8R32-MVP
    2x X850 XT( CrossFire edition & CrossFire ready tested with Windows drivers)
    SyncMaster 244T with native resolution 1920x1200

    My distro is -amd64 Gentoo 2006.1 with GCC4.1.1( I'm going to upgrade my profile info )
    and the x86_64 ATI driver since 8.27.10 enable DRI for all VGA devices to the Radeon X1950( release 8.30.3 still doesn't work ).
    If I remove the slave card I can run X with a fglrx drived device but if togheter are installed X stuck in a black screen( with a low resolution, as I can see from cursor ) also I can hear the VGA works because fan speed increase but no input device respond and there is not any info in the log file
    ( since 8.30.3 system reboot ) .

    Is needed some special section in xorg.conf?

    Great solution for me:
    -emerge latest libdrm masked package;
    -emerge latest mesa hard masked package;
    -read this section only: http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Buil...d4f5268396b2b4
    -configure your xorg.conf properly( with "radeon" Device ).
    -reboot your system;
    -enjoy it

    I think ATI need to release its drivers as open source[/code].
