** Description changed: Ubuntu simply cannot handle 3 graphics cards at once (at least mine). I know this is not my issue because Mandriva Linux easily detects and sets these up, with no hassle whatsoever. Ubuntu likes having 2, any 2 of these cards, in any combination, 2 graphics cards work fine. So they all work individually or in a pair. Its when I enable a third graphics card, that Ubuntu will NOT start up. It will hang in the middle of placing menus and toolbars on the desktop! + + link: + + http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 + VI.5. Multi-board support broken + + RandR 1.2 does not support multiple boards yet (it's planned for RandR + 1.3). It means that any RandR 1.2 aware driver will crash the server if + you have 2 boards. Even one board with a RandR 1.2 driver and another + board with a classic driver does not work. It just crashes the X server.
