Description of problem: With a PCIe RV370 card and a PCI Rage XL card in my system, X refuses to touch the Rage XL card when I tell it to use the "ati" or "atimisc" driver. I spent a night debugging X under direction of Dave Airlie, hacking up the xorg-x11-drv-ati from rawhide to make it load under RHEL5. It still would not even touch the Rage XL card. X -probeonly output only mentioned the RV370 card... Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.6.3-3.2.el5 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Xinerama setup with 2 monitors attached to the Radeon, one to the Rage XL 2. see X not touch the Rage XL card 3. I'll bring the Radeon card to the office for testing. Expected results: X tries to at least initialize the Rage XL. It isn't even being posted...
Note that with 'Driver "ati"' in xorg.conf, the atimisc sub module is not getting loaded.
That's cool, but I think it should be ASSIGNed to somebody (Rik, to you?, or ajax?)
Is this still an issue in RHEL6? I don't think we're likely to touch the mach64 support in RHEL5 at this point.
No further hardware enablement updates are planned for RHEL5's X stack. If this issue still occurs with RHEL6, please fix the affected product version and reopen this bug.
