Hi I have a sun blade 100 with 1 onboard PGX64 and 1 pci card PGX64 (both Ati mach64 cards). With linux 2.4 series, both framebuffers worked, and XFree86 worked on both cards. With 2.6.X (X <= 7), only the primary (onboard) card worked ; secondary was always black in console and in XFree86. Starting with 2.6.8-rc1, the console works on both cards again, however, XFree86 doesn't work anymore. It crashes with signal 11 even before it can display it's famous black & white dot pattern. I've tried 2.6.8-rc4 on a sun ultra 5 with only 1 onboard PGX24 (Ati mach64 card) and XFree86 works fine there, so I guess the problem is due to the secondary card. I don't know which is at fault here (if it's the kernel or X), but as the problem was introduced with 2.6.8-rc1, I'm asking here. Does anyone have any idea?
