Description Björn Nilsson 2005-09-17 14:28:59 UTC
I am running a second X server on a second video card. The problem is when I  
load glx and dri in both servers, running at the same time, videos played in  
the second server is lagging and stuttering pretty bad. 
 
I have confiremd that not loading glx on the second server removes the 
stutter. If I manually disable Load "dri" and Load "glx" in xorg.conf before 
launching the second server I am ok. However doing this each time is not very 
convenient.  
 
I found the "-extension" in the man page. I try to run the second server like 
this: 
X -extension XFree86-DRI -extension GLX -ac -nolisten tcp -layout Layout1 :1   
 
glx and dri is loaded anyway, as indicated in the log.

In which man page did you see that extension?  The only thing I see in either
Xorg or Xserver is the -x switch.  Using -x tells the server to *enable* the
named extension.  I don't see an option to disable an extension.
Comment 2 Alan Coopersmith 2005-10-19 15:25:07 UTC
-extension was added in Xorg 6.8, but it looks like we forgot to add it to the
man pages.

Sorry about the phenomenal bug spam, guys.  Adding xorg-team@ to the QA contact so bugs don't get lost in future.

I was wrong in my inital report that I saw it in the man page. I got the option from the list that is shown when running "Xorg --help"

Björn Nilsson, 
Do you still experience this issue with newer soft ?
Please check the status of your issue.
Or close this bug.
Comment 6 Björn Nilsson 2013-03-26 08:17:22 UTC
My setup and hardware is completely different today. For example I dont have 2 grahics cards in my computer anymore. I guess if someone tried to accomplish this today, running 2 X servers in parallel would not be the answer.
