I've got this working nicely now. I have a recent agp nvidia card and an
old pci matrox millenium in this dual opteron machine running 64bit
linux. I boot into a console on the matrox using the built-in matroxfb
driver, then startx which runs on the nvidia card using the nv driver. I
can then work on my fb application in X, viewing the output on the second
monitor via the matrox card. Nice!

I've just done a bk pull from linus and build a new kernel (was using post rc2 
before) and now this nice scheme (see above) fails to work:

When I 'startx', the X log complains about no core keyboard, my usb keyboard 
stops responding and both screens go blank. I can only get access by ssh from 
another machine.

Nothing changed other than kernel; using same .config.

If I boot on rivafb console instead of matroxfb, startx and keyboard work 
fine.

Before I start hunting down the problem; Do any recent changes spring to mind?

Thanks

Andrew
