I am trying to get a dual monitor system working using the onboard S3
ProSavage adapter and a PCI S3 Virge card.
However, after I do Xorg -configure to get a xorg.conf and then
execute it, Xorg -config /root/xorg.conf.new I get a blank screen with
only a "-" in the upper left hand corner of screen 0. Then I cannot
use cntrl-slt-1, ec to get to another screen. I have to ssh in to get
it back. Now, I do have this error
(EE) S3VIRGE(1): Cannot read V_BIOS (3) Input/output error
(--) S3VIRGE(1): Chipset: "virge"
(==) S3VIRGE(1): XVideo not supported.
Commentng out screen 1, the virge, causes X to come up normally.

Follow up.
If I go into xorg.conf and specify only the S3Virge as a screen, it
works. Of course, only one screen not two.
But, then if I specify dual with the S3 ProSavage as Screen 1 (exact
opposite as above) I get the same blank screen but the err or is now;
(EE) SAVAGE(1): Cannot read V_BIOS (3) Input/output error
EE) SAVAGE(1): Failed to fetch any BIOS modes. Disabling BIOS.
(EE) SAVAGE(1): Cannot read V_BIOS (3) Input/output error
(II) SAVAGE(1): 6216 kB of Videoram needed for 3D; 2048 kB of Videoram
available
(EE) SAVAGE(1): Insufficient Videoram available for 3D -- Try a lower
color depth or smaller desktop. For integrated savages try increasing
the videoram in the BIOS.
(EE) SAVAGE(1): DRI isn't enabled
(EE) SAVAGE(1): restarting S3 graphics engine reset 1 ...
(EE) SAVAGE(1): restarting S3 graphics engine reset 2 ...
(EE) SAVAGE(1): restarting S3 graphics engine reset 3 ...
(EE) SAVAGE(1): restarting S3 graphics engine reset 4 ...
Remember, I don't get any Savage error messages when it is Screen 0,
either alone or with the Virge as Screen 1.
It appears that the x server doesn't like two S3 cards together.
