I still don't understand what this means, and why it doesn't choose one of them arbitrarily. If you edit your config file to select a primary one, it would work? If you select the other one as primary, would it still work? > Per discussion with macallen@ I implemented pci_device_is_boot_vga() > and that works.

Yes, but the same situation could happen on a desktop. Assume I would have such a machine and boot it with serial console. According to your logic (as far as I understood it so far), I wouldn't be able to use X. That sucks and would clearly be a serious regression. I'm sure I'm missing something, so please give more details. Martin
