Thanks for this, I havnet had much time today but I implemented the hack as
laid out in http://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2004/02/msg00013.html
Now lspci and scanpci do indeed show the same output again.
XFree86 -scanpci is still empty and X does not start in multihead mode:
Fatal server error:
Cannot run in framebuffer mode. Please specify busIDs
for all framebuffer devices
But I specified them in the XF86Config-4 and each card is working fine in a
single screen layout with the data below.
Section "Device"
Identifier "Creator3D"
Driver "sunffb"
BusID "SBUS:/SUNW,ffb@1e,0"
Option "UseFBDev" "true"
Option "FBDev" "/dev/fb0"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Matrox Millenium"
Driver "fbdev"
BusID "0001:00:02.0"
Option "UseFBDev" "true"
Option "FBDev" "/dev/fb1"
EndSection
