Description Mike A. Harris 2004-07-09 01:44:54 UTC 
Problems:

- Detection of the primary adapter is broken. You have to
  set explicit PCI id in XF86Config to get the card detected
  as *secondary*. However, switching to VGA text console won't work then
  (most drivers don't save/restore VGA state for secondary adapters).

- Rather old bug in mga driver (since 4.1.0, IIRC) - the driver
  attempts to read the video ROM *before* enabling it. Naturally,
  this causes annoying machine check on certain platforms.

Full details of bug and original patch submission are in Red Hat bugzilla:
        https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=91711


I've updated the patch to cleanly apply to X.Org CVS, attached below.
