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. > (--) MGA(0): BIOS at 0xFC7C0000 > (--) MGA(0): Video BIOS info block at offset 0x07CE0 > (WW) MGA(0): Video BIOS info block not detected! > (--) MGA(1): BIOS at 0xFFFE0000 > (--) MGA(1): Video BIOS info block at offset 0x07CE0 > (WW) MGA(1): Video BIOS info block not detected! > (--) MGA(2): BIOS at 0xFFFE0000 > (--) MGA(2): Video BIOS info block at offset 0x07CE0 > (WW) MGA(2): Video BIOS info block not detected! "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. -- Dr. Andrew C.
