Bug#378081: "Cannot read V_BIOS" memory allocation error

[Milan Zamazal <pdm@zamazal.org>]

I had the same problem.  I've finally solved it (I hope) by applying the
patch

  https://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=86821

from

  https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=171453&x=0&y=0

to xserver-xorg-core_1.0.2-9 (it required some manual adjustments).  I
don't know yet how stable the solution is but the X server at least
starts and seems to work on the first glance, including 3D acceleration,
on my secondary graphics card and the "Cannot read V_BIOS" error message
is gone.  My Linux kernel version is 2.6.17-3.
