Bug#347371: xserver-xorg: Dualhead ATI Radeon 9100 IGP + SIS 300/305 fails sind 6.9.0 update - SIS memory size detected wrong

[Fran Firman <fran.firman@ipsm.net.nz>]

OKey done the test with 2.6.8

Other than it doesn't like my udev installed...

X seemed to get past the memory problem / bios issue with the SIS, but failed with can't open /dev/agpgart

Tried X only on the sis (the /dev/agpgart was for the i810) and other than complaining about can't find the mouse, it seemed ok.

Rebooted back to 2.6.16, and It didn't bring up the second card (run level 2 with KDM)

So console login.
Kill kdm
Run X and it only came up on the i810 with the error of not enough mem on the SIS card.
KIll X
modprobe sisfb
Complains about bios not initialised and it can't do it.
rmmod sisfb
run X. Both cards come up fine.
Kill X
run kdm. and log in with both cards working.

Hope some of this helps... If you have a standard Debian kernel install of 2.6.12, or what ever will work with udev, I am happy to test for you.
