Bug 117408

I installed on a system with an ATI 9600 and a Matrox RTX100 (which has a G550
chip on it). During the hardware configuration part of the install, it chose the
G550 as the device to configure for a graphics card. There was no choice to
select the ATI 9600.

I skipped the hardware configuration and logged in.

Running SaX2, it showed the G550 as well and could not select the ATI.

I selected cancel and ran sax2 -p, it shows the ATI as Chip 0 and the G550 as
Chip 1.

Trying to run SaX2 again, it starts to load, but then exists with no error.
Looking at the System Log, it's showing a seg fault when trying to run SaX2 now.

I shutdown, removed the Matrox RTX100, and booted.
Same issue with SaX2.

System Log segfault messages are (one entry for each try to run SaX2)

Please note that the Matrox RTX100 is a video editing card and although it has a
G550 chip on it, it doesn't act as a display device (at least in Windows, and
Windows doesn't see it as one).  I know the card isn't supported in Linux, but
I'm dual booting so I can use it. The issue should exist with other AGP + PCI
graphics cards combinations.


Questions:
1 - Shouldn't SaX2 allow you to choose which graphics card to use when multiple
cards are detected?

2 - Should SaX2 already know which card to configure as X is already running on
the correct one?

3 - Did SaX2 write out a config file that's causing the problem (even though I
selected cancel without saving anything)?   

Please let me know if you need further info or what else I can do to help
correct the problem.

Many Thanks
