You may need to fiddle with that. Of course, but should't the AGP bios report itself during initialization even when 'Init PCI display first' is set, or is the legacy BIOS completely ignored on the secondary adapter? > > X also refuses to detect the Geforce card. > > Is it possible that the new console layer or the new agp gart code or > > whatever in 2.5.70 poked in the wrong registers and replaced the BIOS > > flash rom on the GeForce with garbage? > > Extremely unlikely.

I've tried to use the PCI card as the primary card and only use the geforce card with X to see if it'd work that way (which it didn't). / Jakob Kemi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
