Hello all,

have somebody experiences with running 2 gfx cards in Pegasos at the same time especialy ATI R7000 AGP and Voodoo3 3000 PCI?

I would like to know how to configure them in MOS and Linux. Thanks in advance!

IIRC the only way of having a voodoo and a radeon to run at the same time is by having an agp voodoo and a pci radeon. Visa versa won't work.

That particular combination won't work with MorphOS for now.

The MorphOS Radeon driver relies on the Radeon's ROM having been executed. Open Firmware only initialises the first card found, and it scans PCI before it scans AGP, so in your case, the AGP Radeon won't be initialised. No other cards have such restrictions.

For Linux, framebuffer stuff should work out of the box. I don't know about X setup, as I've never used multi monitor with X.

OK, I understand. Bad luck for me :o( I wanted to solve my present situation:

Voodoo3 is for this time still more supported card for MorphOS (I mean 3D supp.). But for Linux and LiveCD distributions is not supported Voodoo3, there should be ATI Radeon used.

So I must often swap these two cards over to have the best gfx support on my Pegasos1 :o) I will have to continue until MOS1.5 will be released...

By the way: Over at Pegasosforum.de Raoul discovered that the current Pegasos II Open Firmware recognizes even a Matrox G400 AGP meanwhile.

Of course MorphOS still lacks the corresponding driver (and the Linux Live-CDs for the Pegasos, too), but the Pegasos boots and the Open Firmware does list information about the graphics card at the OF prompt.

Well sure it does... since its based on the PC Code Gen stuff..

Well, there have been reports that on earlier OF versions long ago it didn't. Thus it's been interesting that now someone retried and it worked.
