Multiseat on Dual ATI R710's - Working Mon, Feb 2. 2009


I finally got a 2-seat system working reliably on dual ATI R710's (Asus EAH 4550s) this afternoon, using F10. The stability problems I mentioned earlier cleared up when I reduced the set of services running -- the important stuff (dbus, NM, hal) are all still enabled so I need to do some more checking to find the conflict (isdn? bluetooth?).

More tests to follow, but it's encouraging to know that there is at least one Open Source driver that can be used to build a multiseat system with the current X server. I'll blog details in the next day or two.

Sounds great, can't wait to see this in action!

Do you have a display manager running on it?

Was the green tint problem related to the driver not picking up on the AtomBIOS?
