Comment 1 John Dennis 2004-04-21 16:24:35 UTC

You can't have two identical bus id's for two different devices that's
why you're getting entitiy in use errors. Please attach (not paste)
the output of "lspci -v"

Comment 2 John Dennis 2004-04-21 17:21:58 UTC

I failed to notice earlier you are using a proprietary Nvidia driver.
Red Hat does not support proprietary closed source 3rd party products.
You will need to seek help from Nvidia.

Comment 3 chary 2004-04-22 03:39:06 UTC

Thanks a lot to Mr John Dennis.

My VedioCard is "nVidia Quadro FX 1000". it is a dualhead card. I can
using it on RedHat kernel-2.4.20-8 platform by NVIDIA-5336. but can
not config it right in EL3. I think  maybe a bug of RedHat?

Comment 4 Mike A. Harris 2004-04-22 06:17:27 UTC

As mentioned above in comment #2, Red Hat does not provide nor support
proproprietary drivers.  If you use proprietary drivers and have
any type of problem with them, please feel free to contact the
vendor who supplied those drivers to you, which in this case is
probably Nvidia.  Nvidia customer support may be able to assist
you with the problem.  Alternatively, you could wait until Nvidia
fixes their driver and releases an updated driver which works.

Again however, Red Hat does not provide technical support or bug
tracking for problems in which a proprietary driver is being used.

Comment 5 Mike A. Harris 2004-04-22 06:18:07 UTC

Closing bug as a duplicate of our master Nvidia proprietary bug
report tracker.

This problem happens with other cards than nvidia as well. I still
haven't figured it out....
