K8S8X Mainboard



At http://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/27/mainboards.html
I read that I can send additions to the K8 Mainboards Linux compatibility list:

I have an amd64, AsRock K8S8X and two graphic cards: MGA Millenium (PCI) and NVidia FX5200(AGP).
With any x86_64 kernel (including 2.6.12-rc4) only one graphic card works, the other shows no
memory with lspci -v:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV34 [GeForce FX 5200] (rev a1) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
        Flags: 66Mhz, medium devsel
        Memory at <ignored> (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled]
        Memory at <ignored> (32-bit, prefetchable) [disabled]
        Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2
        Capabilities: [44] AGP version 3.0

Therefore I must use an i386 kernel: here both graphic cards work.
I have upgraded to BIOS-version 1.9 but that did not help.

So I want to point out that the K8S8X is not truely x86_64 linux compatible,
at least with 2 graphic cards - or did I miss something?

Could anyone please give me a hint which amd64 mainboard supports 2 graphic cards in 64 bit mode?

Yours,
Johannes Gajdosik
