Ok, I did so and tried to use the sunffb-module at 24 bit. Both video
cards are recognized on X-Server startup but then the following happens:

# xfree86-startup output
[...]
(==) SUNFFB(0): DPI set to (75, 75)
(--) Depth 24 pixmap format is 32 bpp
(II) /dev/fb0: Detected FFB2+/vertical, Z-buffer, Double-buffered.
(II) /dev/fb0: BT498 (PAC2) ramdac detected
(II) /dev/fb0: Detected Creator/Creator3D
(II) SUNFFB(0): [drm] created "ffb" driver at busid "SBUS:/dev/fb0"
(II) SUNFFB(0): [drm] added 8192 byte SAREA at 0x0778a000

Fatal server error:
Caught signal 10.  Server aborting

What can that be? Where do I find more information?

Following some parts of my /etc/X11/XF86Config-4:

[...]
Section "Monitor"
	Identifier   "Monitor0"
	HorizSync    81.0 - 81.0
	VertRefresh  76.0 - 76.0
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier  "Card0"
	Driver      "sunffb"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
	Identifier "Screen0"
	Device     "Card0"
	Monitor    "Monitor0"

	EndSubSection
	SubSection "Display"

	EndSubSection
EndSection

This became quite long - sorry, i didn't know which information was 
important.
