dual head r128

From: Josh Huber <hidden>

Anyone got dual head r128 up and running on ppc?  I've got a dual G4
system here (running a UP kernel for now), with the shipped AGP r128
card, and another PCI (pc, no fcode) r128 card.

The relevant information is attached, lspci -vv, XF86Config, and the
log of the failed X startup.  X works with just the AGP card, as
expected.

Of note is the:
c000:00b9: 63 ILLEGAL X86 OPCODE!

line in x.log, when trying to run int10 on the secondary card.

Thanks,

I don't think that's the cause, it fails much later.

Have you built X yourself? If yes, you need patches from Ani Joshi. The memory
and clock values it probes are obviously bogus.

Wait a minute, I see you are using debs, which should contain Ani's stuff.
Does aty128fb work on the second card? If yes, try Option "UseFBDev".

Hmmm, 0x63 is the opcode for arpl, a protected mode only instruction which
is related to (shudder) segments and their protection model. If you reach
this code, it might be an emulator bug (but I gave up trying to understand
Xfree's emulator), but I can't remember (and I got rid of my XFree sources
because I needed the disk space for something else) if there is a way to
put a breakpoint in the emulated ROM and step (emulated) instruction by
instruction.
