Re: Dual Graphics Cards
@Spectre660
I picked up an ATI Fire 2250 card off Ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ATI-FireMV-2 ... 2749.l2649 for use as a 2nd card on my X5000 for Linux as according to your success this should hopefully support Hardware Acceleration.
I notice that it comes with an S-Video port and also a DMS59 Port where I was expecting a DVI. I know i can get a DMS59-VGA or DMS-DVI converter which isn't a problem but i decided to try this out using the S-Video port in the meantime but wasn't having much luck with getting this to display. I have tried this in all the PCI EX1 ports. The card does work as the onboard fan does spin around.
Am i right in thinking S-Video will not display due to the lack of a driver, or is there anything I may need to configure somewhere to get this to display under S-Video or indeed VGA as I think I may go for this adapter?

Re: Dual Graphics Cards
Normally these cards include a DMS59 to dual DVI cable.
Mine did so I never tried any output via s-video.
The cables are available separately
https://www.amazon.com/Goliton-DMS-59-p ... dms+to+dvi
I am now using a MV2260 which does not have S-video so not in a position to try .

To get the console working on the pciex1 card append the following to your bootags
Code: Select all

Another option is to shut off the connection of the Primary video card by appending the following to the bootargs (Uppercase being important here)
instead of the fbcon=map:1

Re: Dual Graphics Cards
Updating configuration .
X5000 configuration information updated .
Full 3D GPU acceleration under both AmigaOS 4.1 and Linux up to supported levels under both OS'es.
Open Gl 3.3 capabilities under Linux so 3D games run including Christian's Supertuxkart-0.8-1-2 version, Caseycullen's Xonotic version and Torcs. Linux Games like xontic and Quake III work best at default resolution (640x400) see QUAKE III fps Benchmarks below
PCIEx16 = Radeon R9-270X Graphics Card
PCIEX4 = Empty (Blocked by video Card)
PCIEX1 = SATA 3 Controller (Marvel 88SE9215 chipset) for Linux Hard Drive
PCIEX1 = TP-Link Gigabit Ethernet PCI-Express Network Adapter (TG-3468) works under both OS'es
PCIEX1 = ATI FirePro 2260 Graphics Card . Primamry LINUX card (Does not function under AmigaOS 4.1FE)
PCI = Empty
PCI = SoundBlaster Live! (Using the mem=3500M command line for Linux use)
Both video cards connected to the same monitor .
HDMI Audio also possible via the FirePro 2260 card under Linux .

Guys, I have tried this with Fedora 26 server but no luck, works fine for Ubuntu. I just get a back screen under Fedora, which works great but would be better with GPU acceleration. Any ideas?
Cheers

Re: Dual Graphics Cards
@acefnq
for Fedora the correct directory is lib64 .
Also there is no xorg file in Christians' .img .
So use

Just to be sure. Does this permit you to use dual monitors in both OS's?

Dual Monitors only possible under Linux.
The card in the pciex1 slot is not active under AmigaOS 4.1.

Re: Dual Graphics Cards
Attaching a fan to the ATI Fire Pro 2260 keeps the temperature down.
Best location seems to be at the end of the card rather than the middle.
Using a 40mm fan.
