Description of problem: Dual head is broken with video bios problem - I810 secondary, Voodoo 3000 primary - swapping order results in both booting, but V3 is corrupt and no bios screen is kicked on it. (II) I810(1): initializing int10 (EE) I810(1): Cannot read V_BIOS (EE) I810(1): VBE initialization failed. this appears related to this Freedesktop.org bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2597 but the provided patch doesn't work (i got the srpm for xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.0.1-9.fc5.5 and patched the source for it). This is a serious issue as upgrading has left me with only one video head. I used to have three (i only have two on my new hardware, but I cannot even use the second because of this bug) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.0.1-9.fc5.5 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use two seperate video cards for Xinerama Actual results: cannot initialize non-primary video board Expected results: extra video boards booted and used Additional info:
I have similar problem. I have installed: 02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200] (rev 01) 02:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200] (Secondary) (rev 01) 01:08.0 VGA compatible controller: NVidia / SGS Thomson (Joint Venture) Riva128 (rev 10) While dual head output on Radeon is working video card Riva is not displaying correctly. Effect on my LCD is quite similar to one you can see on CRT monitors whise setting refresh in value highest than allowed on monitor - everything is shaking. I attached my current x.org conf and log file, altho effect is same with or without options I set in xorg.conf in driver section
Created attachment 134971 [details] xorg.conf file

After changing primary PCI card on BIOS to Riva on PCI slot ATI card on AGP stops working with same error, while Riva is working properly
