There is still one thing that all that does not explain, however. Once all cards have IO decoding turned on (`lspci -vv' on my machine clearly shows that all my three video cards decode IO), how comes only one card actually decodes VGA IO? I can start X servers on my two non-boot VGA cards, all while still having the VGA text console still working on my boot-time VGA card. There must be some way to explain it other than just turning IO decode on and off.
