Comment 13 for bug 32461

 I have only one monitor normally attached
 (an IBM 2237).

 I have booted with it initially attached to
 one card, and another boot attached to the other card.
 In both the end result is the same
 (I just cannot observe behaviour without monitor attached)

 Would attaching another monitor (somewhat less work)
 perhaps correct the problem as a first go?

 I'll experiment and get back to you.

 What do you want me to capture
 (like logs etc, I will definitely report behaviour)
  for each test?

  Let's see if I got it right:
* your computer has 2 graphic cards:
* 1 S3, which Xorg detects it as a Cirrus
* and 1 ATI, which is detected under Xorg but not configured in xorg.conf

When the system boots, one of the cards shows the graphical boot
sequence and stops there, though it lets you select the console with
Alt-F1..F5. The problem is that Xorg doesn't seem to boot and Alt-F7
shows nothing.

Can you please explain:
* how many monitors do you have?
* how are they attached to each card?
* which one of the monitors/cards is used in each case?

Please, can you confirm this is right?

On the other hand, could you please try to remove one of the cards and
try again? Then, but it back, remove the other card and try once more.
Thus we can check if both cards are working properly by themselves.

Thanks!
