You don't mention that you tried Option "noDDC".
Don't see why it should help, but some people claim it causes problems.

I remembering someone claiming that we didn't handle lots of PCI buses 
very well at one time; could it be related to that rather than the mga 
driver.

"Video BIOS info block not detected!" isn't usually fatal, but it
isn't a good sign.
I don't know whether having two VB blocks at the same address is
a problem, or whether they are in different address spaces.
I don't see any mention of success with just two cards;
it might be worth trying without one of the clashing cards.
