Working with onboard graphics adapters can often be a pain. If you want to
use Xinerama then I believe the best option would be to enable the onboard
1064 (Mystique) and disable vga on the Millennium, but as it stands when you
try to initialize the Millennium it seems to conflict with your onboard
Mystique. If you haven't already you may want to try all the combinations
you can between the vga switch, the onboard auto-disable settings, and the
xinerama enabled config file. Make sure that the Millennium works on its own
(use a different system if you have to)
As a last resort you might have to try some fun things such as check for
resource conflicts (shared IRQ's, overlapping memory ranges), update
motherboard and graphics card bioses, etc.
You could start by removing other pci/isa devices and trying the Millennium
in each of the pci slots...
