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.
con2fb was broken before that version.
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 tried with 1 PCI and 1 AGP nVidia card, PCI is primary. I use vesafb on the primary, and I have no problems launching X on the secondary. If I initialize the secondary card's ROM-BIOS, I can also modprobe rivafb and launch X-fbdev on both the primary and secondary. I cannot use rivafb for both because of conflicts.
