OK, this is slightly OT, but I think the level of nvidia expertise is
high on this list so I am hoping someone will have the answer. I want
to set up multi-user sessions with Myth being on one screen, and two
user logins on two other screens.
I've been following the excellent but dated HOWTO here:
<http://linuxgazette.net/124/smith.html>
I am running Debian Testing.
My setup:
display 0: AGP - Nvidia FX5200 - MythTV
display 1: PCI - ATI Rage 128 - Jason's login
display 2: PCI - Nvidia Quadra - Akari's login
My goal:
A separate user login on each card. To this end, I have configured three
server <http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=84268#> layouts.
The problem is that the nvidia driver is 'greedy' - it seems to want to
run *all* of the nvidia cards, in a Twinview session. I don't want this,
I want each card to be a completely separate X login session.
I am attaching my xorg.conf and an excerpt from the log files from the
most recent bootup. You can see that the nvidia driver first initializes
one of the nvidia cards, then the other. I don't want two screens with
the same virtual framebuffer; I want a gdm login on each screen.
How do I go about setting up a separate login on each card? I would
appreciate any advice or comments. I'm pretty much out of ideas at this
point.
Thanks,
