Do you mean that it crashes randomly after some time or that XFree86 doesn't
even run long enough for you to start any X applications?

I suppose that you did some changes to XF86Config as LCD monitors usually
have lower refresh rates? If you haven't been able to start X since then
you might find a clue in the logs from XFree86. Maybe XFree86 isn't able
to find any valid screen setting for your resolutions.

If you have random crashes it sounds like a hardware error as the system
has worked before. Do you still have these crashes if you use your old
CRT monitors? If so, check that your graphics cards hasn't moved out from
your AGP and PCI slots.

1. XFree 4.0 dual monitor on AGP G4

Hi all,

Has anyone tried tried to use XFree86 4.0 w/a dual monitor (dual head)
configuration on an AGP G4? If so, what kernel are u using? Any
not-so-obvious configuration details? I did a build of 4.0 and got it
working on my main AGP card (it auto-detects both cards) but it crashes the
kernel (2.2.15pre3, comes w/LinuxPPC 2K) when I modify the configuration to
use both monitors. The kernel also crashes when I try to run it on the
secondary card only.

thanx
- Taylor
