Hello All,
Has anyone gotten 2 nVidia cards to work in Linux? I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 Januty Jackalope 64-bit with dual monitors. I've installed both cards, but Linux only recognizes one. Is there a trick to enabling the second card? I'm not using SLI. I just want to run a monitor on each card.
I wanted to build the "perfect" development workstation for writing Java code, checking e-mail, running server software, etc. I have a 1600x1200 monitor on the left and a 1920x1200 monitor on the right. 2D performance is pretty sluggish, so I tried buying 2 graphics cards instead of having 1 older video game card. I am running a Phenom 2 955 on a 790GX motherboard.
I originally tried running the 790GX integrated graphics and a Radeon 3450 card (they work together in Hybrid Crossfire in Windows), but had lots of issues with their driver with dual monitors (let alone dual GPU) and went back to nVidia as it's what I've been using on Linux for the last 10 years.
I have dual monitors working with one graphics card. I put a second one in and am trying to see a reference to it in the nVidia X Server Settings panel.
Has anyone ran 2x 9400 GTs before?
Has anyone run 2x nVidia cards before?
Can this configuration work?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Steven
