    using two videocards

    Hi!

    I've to say, that i'm also a Mircoshit user and really new with linux.

    I'v got the low-energy Via Epia-M Mainboard with an S3 VGA-Card onboard and a secondary PCI Radeon 9000. ( http://www.viavpsd.com/ ) << currently down!?

    Now I want to decide at bootpromt or before X starts, which card to use. WinXp is able to use both cards at the same time, but WinXp isn't working that stable °°

    I know, that you can configure Knoppix to use kdm with one card and xdm with another, or so?!? does anyone know how?

    Try:
    Code:
    X :0.1 | xterm -display :0.1 -e kde3
    in one of the main consoles.

    I suggest you simply disable the onboard video in the bios(unless your using it for something special).

    Now I want to decide at bootpromt or before X starts, which card to use.
    I think you can use the "linux single" command at the bootpromt and start X from a console(if you don't mind the hassle).
