I picked up a second Voodoo3 card today (ontop of my other PCI one and
an AGP Matrox G400 DH), and was about ready to set it up to work in
XFree86-4.1.0 (havent installed 4.2 yet, will test it there as well in
a while).

Unfortunatly, it seems that int10 was unable to softboot the second
voodoo3 (at PCI:0:19:0). It would boot the first just fine (at
PCI:0:18:0), even when the first wasn't setup by the bios (my original
setting). The second would load perfectly when it was the only PCI
video card (both setup/not setup by the bios).

XFree86 would still continue to load and allocate memory and screen
realestate to the non-booted video card (and I presume draw to it as
well, but I'm not quite certain of that.) even though the card wasn't
booted, and no signal was being shoved out of it.

I suspect that this is just a bug in the int10 module that hasn't been
discovered yet because few people are working with 4 heads... but I
could be mistaken. (Like the boot signal is being sent to the wrong card
as it tries to boot the second card... although it does correctly
report a boot failure...)

What should I do now? (Has this problem been adressed in 4.2.0 or cvs?)
