Description Rodrigo Severo 2006-07-04 12:41:59 UTC 
First of all, this isn't a duplicate of bug #5190.

The best way to explain this issue is to explain my setup: I have two cards, the
main one is a Matrox G400 (AGP) with 2 monitors, the second one is a RIVA TNT
(PCI) with one monitor.

This exact configuration worked just fine with X 6.8 but isn't working with X
7.1: there is no image on the monitor connected to the RIVA TNT card. I can
confirm that X recognizes the third monitor, I can even move a window to it but
it's completely blank.

I use both mga and nv open drivers which worked just fine on X 6.8. Please
advise for any extra info necessary as I don't want to fill the bug with
irrelevant logs.

Looking at Xorg.0.log the only thing that captures my attention is:

(II) NV(1): Initializing int10
(II) Attempted to read BIOS 64KB from /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:01:0a.0/rom: got
32KB
Comment 1 Rodrigo Severo 2006-07-05 07:10:40 UTC 
My previous test was with nv driver version 1.1.2. Now I tested version 1.2.0
which I believe is the newest one. I got the same results.

Well, from my point of view the upgrade from X 6.8 to X 7.1 made things worse:
my setup worked just fine and now it doesn't.

Is there anything I can do to help fix this issue?

Rodrigo,

if you're still here, please review bug #9920 ... it appears you're suffering the same problem.

Yeah, mine problem might be the same mentioned in bug #9920. Can't confirm as there is no fix for bug #9920 yet. Or there is?

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

xf86-video-nv has been officially unmaintained for a bit now, and we are closing all -nv bugs. If your problem was not addressed, and -nv is still broken, please try xf86-video-nouveau. Thank you.
