[I file this ticket for tracking purpose; upstream report is at
 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7103]

Description of problem:

When having a primary AGP graphic cards (in my case an ATI Radeon
RV100 QY) and a PCI Matrox MGA 2064W, X will hang at startup.

This happens because the BIOS address can not be determined; the
interesting code is in mga_driver.c

| static Bool
| MGAPreInit(ScrnInfoPtr pScrn, int flags)
|
|     if (pMga->device->BiosBase != 0) {
|         /* XXX This isn't used */
|         pMga->BiosAddress = pMga->device->BiosBase;
|         pMga->BiosFrom = X_CONFIG;
|     } else {
|         /* details: rombase sdk pp 4-15 */
|         if (pMga->PciInfo->biosBase != 0) {
|             pMga->BiosAddress = pMga->PciInfo->biosBase & 0xffff0000;
|             pMga->BiosFrom = X_PROBED;
|         } else if (pMga->Primary) {
|             pMga->BiosAddress = 0xc0000;
|             pMga->BiosFrom = X_DEFAULT;
|         }
|     }

In my case, both pMga->device->BiosBase and pMga->PciInfo->biosBase
are NULL and pMga->Primary is false.

Therefore, 'pMga->BiosAddress == 0' will hold. Then, the startup will
hang somewhere in

|    mga_read_and_process_bios( pScrn );                                                               


Skipping this operation (like in the '#if defined(__alpha__)'
conditional), will continue the startup process but:

* it will hang later somewhere in int10, or (when not loading the
  int10 module),
* X will startup, but will assume wrong capabilities so that I have
  only a 640x480 screen.



I fixed the issue by applying

|-         } else if (pMga->Primary) {
|+         } else if (pMga->Primary || 1) {

to the code above and X runs without problems.
