2. I run two X servers for 2 displays, one on AGP TNT2 and one on PCI MX-440. If I restart the second server, the character sizes change, from "normal" to tiny. I can get them back to normal by restarting gdm.
how do you "restart the 2nd server" when both are using the same
nvidia driver ??
I use a patch to the kernel to have it separate keyboards by vt's and gdm to start 2 servers and in the start up:
command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X0 :0 -layout X0 -deferglyphs 16 -isolateDevice \"PCI:1:0:0\" vt7
on the one that drives the AGP and
command=/usr/X11R6/bin/X1 :1 -layout X1 -deferglyphs 16 -isolateDevice \"PCI:0:11:0\" vt17
that drives the PCI card and X0 and X1 symlinked to X. So I get 2 X servers driving a separate card. That -isolateDevice came with the latest Sarge X. Before we had to use a patched X to have it drive only one card.
During gdm startup he does a
/usr/X11R6/bin/X -probeonly
so Nvidia doesn't get bent out of shape and he will start himself first for X0 and then for X1.

Yes. Both Samsungs 17". But one is a 750s and the other a 753dfx. See my query on shadows on the latter.
