It won't work until your secondary card is posted. Int10 posting of secondary cards doesn't work with libpciaccess. The non-int10 post code in the ddx is incomplete and disabled. You can try it with the attached patch, but it likely won't make a difference. Your best bet short term is to use xserver 1.4.x. Alex
