hmm, so your graphics card is on a different PCI domain.  Multiple PCI
domain support in X is not very good (it's a hack), and I'm not quite
sure it all works right now.
This should all be fixed in Xorg 1.5, which will include a complete
rework of the PCI access code, but that's not out yet.

Cheers,
