    Problems with two grphics cards X sevrer initialization at startup

    Hello all,
    first i want to thank everyone for helping me in the past! ;-)
    But now i can't find a proper working solution somewhere on the forums.
    Problem is I have a pc with two graphics cards. Main card is a Sapphire RX580 and the second one is an old Nvidia tesla M2050 accelerator. Since i want to use the Tesla for my cuda programming stuff i had to install the latest nvidia driver and this is where the pain starts.
    At startup the x server goes on the Tesla card as main card which is no fun without any monitor connections on the board. ;-)
    My workaround at the moment is to go to a console via ctrl+alt+F1 move the xorg.conf to a different xorg.conf then start the xserver from the console. This is quite annoying to be honest. I tried modifying xorg.conf but the Device PCI:5@0:0:0 (amd is on pci 1) always keeps on to be the device it will start with. Which script do I have to modify to force it starting on my AMD card?

    I need the RX for gaming on Windows. ;-) So when there is no nice solution for this I'll have to get a second scrap metal pc for the programming stuff with two nvidia cards installed there was never a problem on this mainboard and cpu.

    Thanks in advance!

    Did/do you have another log in account with us? Your statement implies you might. If so, are you not able to log in with it?
