# A.2. Graphic card pairs/triples that work, but with some glitches

- Generally the X server driving the AGP card has to be started first.

  This can be acomplished by manually starting X or using gdm as desktop manager. You'll have to abstain from using xdm or kdm, as they start the X servers at the same time.

- AGP sever restart leads to system crashes. In `gdm.conf`, set `AlwaysRestartServer=false`.

- The XFree-4.3-prefbusid patch/binary fixes most of the problems. In case the X servers are started in the right order there are no lock ups.
