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

That is true, but I thought that if perhaps int10 wasn't able to init
the card fully, that it might cause problems later.  Let's assume
that's not a problem for the moment though :)

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".

Yeah, I'm using the debs, but it looks like the latest xserver-xfree86
ppc packages are still at phase2v5, while the other packages are up to
phase2v15.  Perhaps the code is just a little too old?

BTW, no...I don't have aty128fb working on the secondary head -- is
there some option to tell the driver to scan for all cards?  does it
do this by default?

I _think_ the problem here is aty128fb cannot setup an uninitalized card.
2.4 _might_ be able to help in this area.

The secondary card is a PC card, so it's not initialized by OF, but I
think the r128 fb driver does a proper initialization of the card, so
that shouldn't be the problem.

You can check this 1st by seeing if dmesg mentions two cards.  If it does
try video=map:000111 (tty1-3 on fb0, 4-6 on fb1).  If you don't have two
cards showing up this will panic (!!!)
