ah i have a similar problem. I try to run an
diamond stealth 64 vram with an IBM RGB526CF ramdac chip
together with an onboard ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage I/II 215GT [Mach64 GT]
(rev 154)
when i have my ati card as screen0 X won't start with an message
(II) Loading sub module "vgahw"
(II) LoadModule: "vgahw"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a
(II) Module vgahw: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
compiled for 4.2.0, module version = 0.1.0
ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.5
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11. Server aborting
when i make my s3 card screen0 X wont start with the message
(II) Setting vga for screen 0.

but then again i heard that there where some problems with the s3 driver and
multihead.
do you have the same problems with just the one card???
if so than give me a yell if you fixed the ramdac issue!! so maybe i can get
one step closer to a solution
