Re: Three monitors

With my new xorg.conf

The ctrl-alt-backspace ie. xorg restart sounds like something that
regular startup scripts are running appear late.

Can you check to what card is connected the monitor that works right
after boot.

Two monitors work after boot:
Videocard0, GeForce 7600 GS, Screen 1, Monitor1 and Videocard2, Geforce FX
5200 Screen 0, Monitor2

This sounds like a mess. Let me sort that out:
Videocard0 7600 Screen1 Monitor1
Videocard? Screen? Monitor0 missing
Videocard2 5200 Screen0 Monitor2

You can also check /var/log/Xorg.0.log before xorg restart.
Than restart xorg. That will generate new /var/log/Xorg.0.log . Compare
both files.

Here the difference:
After boot: <

[..]
(--) NVIDIA(1): Maxdata (RogenTech) B1980S1 (DFP-0)
496c502,516
< (EE) NVIDIA(1): Unable to find available Display Devices for screen 1.
[...]
This confirms above.
[...]
Now, what to do?
Reading again xorg.conf from 10.2 and 10.3, I can say it is a somewhat strange,
at least.
Try the one below, and if it works, test screen numbers and connect
monitors to be Screen 0, 1 and 2, from left to right.
Watch metamodes lines, they can be wrapped.

The proposal is very similar as 10.3 xorg.conf, but it is missing section
Modes and metamodes in screen sections are sorted out.

There is also something that might be a problem.
I guess that FX 5200 has 2 outputs. Mine has 2 VGA, though newer have VGA + DVI.
If your card is like mine, it can happen that after boot monitor connected to
that card has no picture. Try another output. Just disconnect cable and connect
to another output. Do that carefully. It is hard to make short, but it is
possible if one put to much pressure on connector.
