Two voodoo cards in photon

GUI group,

I am trying to get two voodoo III video cards working in Photon. I’m
not exactly sure how to do this. I installed the cards and ran the
‘pci’ command. The output for the two cards are shown below.

Class = Display (VGA)
Vendor ID = 121ah, 3dfx Interactive Inc
Device ID = 5h, Voodoo3 All Voodoo3 chips, 3000
PCI index = 0h
PCI Mem Address = ec000000h enabled
PCI Mem Address = dc000000h enabled
PCI IO Address = cc00h enabled
PCI Expansion ROM = efaf0000h disabled
PCI Int Pin = INT A
Interrupt line = 11

Class = Display (VGA)
Vendor ID = 121ah, 3dfx Interactive Inc
Device ID = 5h, Voodoo3 All Voodoo3 chips, 3000
PCI index = 1h
PCI Mem Address = 0h disabled
PCI IO Address = 0h disabled
PCI Int Pin = INT A
Interrupt line = 10

Notice that the second card’s PCI memory is disabled. Is this done in
the BIOS or is this an OS issue?

Assuming I can enable the second card, how do I start the video driver
so that both cards are used. Currently, the driver is started with the
following command:

io-graphics -g800x600x16 -dldevg-banshee.so -I0 -d0x121a,0x5 &

Do I need to start another graphics driver or append something to the
io-graphics command?

Thanks,
Alec

Hi Alec,

Check out the following Knowledge Base entry on multiple displays on QNX6.1:
