Hello,
I have AccerPower s285 computerwith 2GB of RAM, 80GB drive, 650W kingwin power supply, running ubuntu 9.04.I understand it's an old box but this will be fine as long I can get that to work with ubuntu 9.04. I want to put couple of graphic cards into it for multiple displays and I have few problems. I hope I can find some suggestions or answers to my problems here.
This mobo has 3 PCI slots so I thought that maybe I can add 2 older cards (with dual outputs - vga and hdmi): Radeon 9250 but for some reason things are not working as I thought they would be.
Here's my output from lspci:
Code:
I think the problem is that the second card display letters in BusID and in xorg.conf you can only add letters in BusID because after reboot and after grub loads I get the message that the second device is not found. Here's my xorg.conf:
Code:
Any help appreciated!
