How to set up dual quadro cards on RHEL 5.5?

Question

How to set up dual quadro cards on RHEL 5.5?

I have a RHEL 5 workstation with 2 nvidia Quadro FX4500 cards, with one display attached to each card.

After doing a clean install of RHEL 5.5, the second display doesnt work (it worked ok in RHEL 5.2). Neither separate X screens nor Xinerama are working.

The kernel version is 2.6.18-194.el5

I've tried nvidia drivers 185.18.36 (the ones that i was using on 5.2) and the latest 260.19.36 and neither works.

My xorg.conf is as follows:

Comparing your xorg.conf to the one in the quad screen, dual Quadro FX4000 system I have access to, I can see the following:

Your 3rd and 4th screens are (obviously) missing (from the "ServerLayout" section and their own "Monitor" and "Screen" sections), since you only have two screens.
You are missing some Options in the "ServerLayout" sections, the most significant appears to be "Xinerama" "On", yet the log suggests it's on anyway.
There is a "Module" section missing.
Both cards appear to be present ("Device0" & "Device1" have different BusIDs) but there appears to be no Screen parameter in their "Device" section and no "Device2" & "Device3" sections. It is possibly that the Screen [parameter is only neded if you have multiple monitors on a single card.
Your "Screen" sections have Option "TwinView" "0" lines and Option "Metamodes"... lines instead of an explicit Modes parameter in the "Display" sub-section.

My suspicion is that it may be something in one of the "ServerLayout" options:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "Layout0"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    Screen      1  "Screen1" Above "Screen0"
    Screen      2  "Screen2" RightOf "Screen1"
    Screen      3  "Screen3" RightOf "Screen0"
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
    Option         "Xinerama" "on"
    Option         "Clone" "off"
    Option         "BlankTime" "0"
    Option         "StandbyTime" "0"
    Option         "SuspendTime" "120"
    Option         "OffTime" "180"
EndSection

or "Module" options:

Section "Module"
        Load  "dbe"
        Load  "extmod"
        Load  "fbdevhw"
        Load  "glx"
        Load  "record"
        Load  "freetype"
        Load  "type1"
EndSection

You should obviously not need the "Screen 2" and "Screen 3" lines, but it might be worth playing with the others.
