I see dead terminals... or living terminals..

Postby cmolson6 » Mon Dec 17, 2007 17:10

Hey I am not sure if this is the right spot but here goes:

first my system specs:
Core 2 duo 2.13Ghz
4GB ram
Sabayon (latest) linux 64bit
2 x ATI x1950 pro 256mb video cards
1 x ATI mach64 (dunno how much ram)

I spent the past 16 hours getting a multi-seat setup on my PC. I tried getting the two PCIe x1950's working, but couldn't so I had an old mach64 lying around I decided to try.

I got it setup now after many problems (well problems because I didn't know what I was doing really)

So I have compiz on my one x1950 running and my old mach64 with a regular kde window manager..



Problem is that I can see the main tty (terminal) behind the screen.. when I move my mouse (either seats mouse) it creates artifacts on the screen which are not very nice. It looks exactly like there is a small terminal at the top of my screen, and when I move the mouse that same little rectangle moves around as if I was in a terminal. It also has a small square blinking like it does in the terminal...

Why is this happening? is my display sharing a tty or something with the main terminal? Please let me know if you need more info to help with this.

Thanks!

Here is my xorg.conf
