Hello!

I'm configuring a multiseat system, using two Nvidia cards under 6.9.
The two seats works fine, but not together: I can't have both active at
the same time.
Since to post more than 40 kb of configuration and logs seems excessive,
all my configurations can be seen here:

What kernel version are you using? Here is a quote from the changelog
for 2.6.18. I have no Idea what version of Xorg is needed to make use
of this change (assuming that it is relevant to your problem).

[PATCH] PCI: Add a "enable" sysfs attribute to the pci devices to
allow userspace (Xorg) to enable devices without doing foul
direct access

This patch adds an "enable" sysfs attribute to each PCI device.
When read it shows the "enabled-ness" of the device, but you can
write a "0" into it to disable a device, and a "1" to enable it.

This later is needed for X and other cases where userspace wants
to enable the BARs on a device (typical example: to run the video
bios on a secundary head). Right now X does all this "by hand"
via bitbanging, that's just evil. This allows X to no longer do
that but to just let the kernel do this.
