double screen


Hi, i have to configure a box with 2 graphic cards for different displays on 2 monitors running suse10. First is Sis 661 and 2nd is radeon9550. If i plug in the second the first is no more recognized by the system. Without the second the first one works.
Suse comes with a tool called sax2 to configure hardware but it lacks the possibility to add a second graphic card. I dont know how to manage that. Would be great if u let me know. Thanks! j.

lspci | grep VGA
displays only one item in both cases

Read through the manpage for sax2. I think if you started sax with this option, "-m card X=module,card X=module,..." you will be able to setup both monitors.
