OpenSUSE 11.1 (reinstall from 10.2), multiple Video cards

English Install/Boot/Login
1

I have 2 video cards and ATI card which drives 1 monitor and an NVidia card that drives 2 monitors.

In OpenSuse 10.2 I could use a VESA driver on the ATI card to drive 1 monitor and the NVIDIA driver on the other 2 monitors, however with 11.1 this no longer works (same exact xorg.conf file results in only the NVIDIA monitors coming up). There is no error in the Xorg log (not give do to space issues), it just does not start the VESA monitor.

I want to at least get the single ATI Monitor working via VESA. but I’d perfer to get it to work with the radeonhd driver (but every time I try to use it, with or without the NVIDIA driver present on the xorg.conf the system, hangs (nothing is logged) and I have to reboot so I’ll deal with the VESA driver for the moment.

Any idea how to get this to work in openSUSE 11.1 (as this is restricting my ability to switch to it).

Thanks,
ERIC
