installing four monitors on suse 10.2
I am using opensuse 10.2
I got two ati graphic cards installed in my system,.
ati radeon x1650xt
ati radeon x1950xt
I've installed the ati drivers and using the fglrx driver for both cards.
In the hardware information I see the two cards, as well as in the SaX2 -p option.
lspci output:
SaX2 -p output:07:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV530LE [Radeon X1600]
07:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 71e6
08:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 7280
08:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc Unknown device 72a0
I played a little with SaX2 while showed me only 1 display while it should show 2 displays for both of the card,. Now it won't even load and writes the following error (as well as when trying to force SaX2 to reread the hardware with "SaX2 -r" it displays the following in SaX2.log):Chip: 0 is -> VESA Framebuffer Graphics 07:00:0 0x1002 0x71c6 AGP fbdev
Chip: 1 is -> VESA Framebuffer Graphics 08:00:0 0x1002 0x7280 AGP fbdev
how do I force it to scan hardware and display the proper information?17-May 17:07:24 <I> [ Sysp: XStuff detection data
SaX: ups lost card during probing... abort
moreover how do I configure four monitors (two ati cards, with two dvi outputs)?
I tried configuring the xorg.conf manually but it didn't work, is there an automatic way to do that?
I would like SaX2 to operate properly when doing SaX2 -r...
When I tried to run "sax2 -c 0 0=ati" it loaded sax2 and displayed the properties for the second card., Yet, When I tried to change it and run the X with it, it didn't run the X and resulted with an error:
When I took out one card and tried running the system only from the second card, it worked properly. I could see an image and all. The problem is therefor something with reconfiguration dual cards in the system. And configuration of the second card parameters, if I could see the second card while the first one is plugged, it might solve the problem.Requesting insufficient memory window!: start: 0xbfe00000 end: 0xbfefffff size 0x10000000

how do I solve my problem?

I tried changing the xorg.conf only to the second card, with out the definitions of the none working driver 'fglrx' and instead I put in the 'radeon' default driver that comes in the new xorg.conf.
Unfortunately I didn't succeed working the second card either with these parameters, and got the following error message:
Note, that the card is functioning properly when it is the only one that is installed in the machine...(EE) No devices detected.
