Bug Description

Binary package hint: libpciaccess0

I have a big bug on xserver-xorg-core 1.5 coming on intrepid. Before on hardy my X config worked fine, with three cards using xinerama (two PCI nvidia and primary video card integrated Intel). After some test the Xorg team found a solution.
The patch is a little change in the libpciaccess library.

Please, read the described problem here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18160
The patch is here: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=22033
I attachment the patch in the bug.

I know may be a patch on intrepid will be hard, however I appreciate so much a package update on intrepid. Because I want to upgrade to intrepid but awhile the bug remains I can't.

I'm using three cards with three monitors on xinerama. The are nvidia PCI cards, and the primary card is a Intel integrated card (the origin of the problem).

I want to upgrade to intrepid because has updated packages necessary to my work (anjuta, gcc, etc).

Please, update the package with the little patch.

Regards.

I updated to jaunty.
The problem remains. The X server does't stop, but doesn't up.
Now I got V_BIOS segment is: 0xc00.

I can't up my two cards. At least don't lockup,

I attched my LOG an configure.

Hi.

I could fix this problem using a nVidia 8400 PCI Express with dualhead. Using the latest nvidia driver (version 180) with xinerama support activated (the support comming with the driver not the Xorg support).

For now forget to use xinerama with two independient nvidia PCI cards or like that.

Regards.
