    I am running Slackware 9.1 (kernel 2.4.22), XFree86-4.3.0, on a dual head
    system. When I try to start X with with the secondary monitor enabled I
    get a fatal error. This is the error message from XFree86.0.log:

    Error in I810WaitLpRing(), now is 6402, start is 4401
    pgetbl_ctl: 0x0 pgetbl_err: 0x10
    ipeir: 0 iphdr: 0
    LP ring tail: 4a0 head: 0 len: f001 start 780000

    memmode: 4 instps: c10
    hwstam: 9ac7 ier: 0 imr: 9ac7 iir: 0
    space: 64344 wanted 65528

    Fatal server error:
    lockup

    My /etc/X11/XF86config is essentially the same as my old one from a
    Slackware 9.0 build (dual head worked great). Here is the relevant info
    from XF86config:

    # in server flags section
            Option "Xinerama" "on"

    # from monitor section

    Section "Monitor"
        Identifier "LUZER"
        HorizSync 30-96

    EndSection

    Section "Monitor"

    EndSection

    EndSection

    # screen section

    Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen 1"
        Device "TNT2"
        Monitor "LUZER"
        DefaultDepth 24
        Subsection "Display"
            Depth 24
            Modes "1280x1024"
            ViewPort 0 0
        EndSubsection
    EndSection

    Section "Screen"
            Identifier "Screen 2"
            Device "Intel i810"
            Monitor "Guy Smiley"
            DefaultDepth 24

            Subsection "Display"
                    Depth 24
                    Modes "1280x1024"
                    ViewPort 0 0
            EndSubsection
    EndSection

    # from serverlayout section
            Screen "Screen 1"
            Screen "Screen 2" LeftOf "Screen 1"

    If anyone has any ideas why this is not working, or if more information is
    needed, please let me know.

    TIA
