When I ran XFree86 -xf86config /root/XF86config.new I have seen the X display coming up for Card0 (82815 CGC) only. I didn't see any display for my card1 (Radeon R250 Moblity 9000). I couldn't figure out the reason for failure in card1 inspite of success in BIOS detection. I have even tried adding the Modeline paramteres and horizantal and vertical refresh rate in Monitor Section. My monitor connected to Card1 is Acer 77c. The adapter will not function without being initialised by its BIOS, and there's not much the driver (by itself) can do about it. So the next step is to figure out why that BIOS can't be retrieved. Towards that end, please send me the output from `scanpci -v` on this system, after a powerdown-reboot, but before any attempt to start an X server. Secondly, you appear to have an incomplete installation of XFree86 4.6.0, as /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libint10.a is missing. Although I don't think this is relevant to the problem. I have disabled the X by changing the runlevel to init 3 followed by reboot. After reboot I have issued the command scanpci -v and output is attached in scanpci.txt. Thanks. Next, let's try retrieving that BIOS ourselves. Again, before attempting to start any X server, please do, as root, ... pcitweak -r 2:4:0 0x30 You should see ... 0x8012 If so, continue with ... pcitweak -w 2:4:0 0x30 0x80120001 mmapr /dev/mem 0x8012 0x2 | gzip -9 BIOS.gz pcitweak -w 2:4:0 0x30 0x8012 ... and send me (privately, not to the list) BIOS.gz. Please be mindful of typos in the above commands. Yes you are right, int10 is missing under /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux. I will check it out the reason for this behaviour. OK. Thanks.

Interesting. That adapter says it has no BIOS, which makes me think it wouldn't even work in Windows, unless a driver, very very specific to it, was provided with it. I've never seen this before. You should probably try to convince, if possible, your system BIOS to use it as it's primary display, instead of the Intel adapter, and see what happens. In any case, I doubt very much you will ever be able to make it work with X in the foreseeable future. Unless it is part of the motherboard, I'd be very interested in buying it from you.
