Ok this is what I've done so far.
Taken out all the modules, changed IRQ's, and changed from the Nvidia
driver to the NV driver which does not load openGL mods.
Now when I type xinit both screens initialize and I can use the
keyboard.
But if I type in anything but a simple command the box locks up.
bash$ ls -l
is fine but
bash$ vi /etc/X11/XFree86-4
locks the box up.
I can launch the blackbox WM on one moniter 0:0.0 but not on 0:0.1 .
When it is running on 0:0.1 it fills 1 monitor and the second one has a
little bit of the WM.
When I touch the mouse to the right side of the screen everything locks,
when I launch an app every thing locks.
So.. I think this may just be a hardware problem.
The S3 is very old and the nvidia is new but I am including my config if
any one wants to take a look.
Thanks for all your help suggestions!
