 Since 15-MAY-2003 kernel patch You need not to recompile XFree86. You
 might configure kernel to filter some unwished XFree86 PCI steering
 commands. Set up it with command:
$ echo "1" > /proc/bus/pci/hackvideo
 Ordinarily XFree86 for i386 architecture use native built in XFree86
 functions to steer PCI. Please add necessary lines in
 /etc/X11/XF86Config file, which tell XFree86 to use Linux /proc
 filesystem interface:
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "PciOsConfig" "1"
EndSection
 After this XFree86 is ready for multiple independed heads without
 recopiling from source. Of course i recommend usage of "2" (idea by
 Kim "kill" Lilliestiena) XFree86 patch.
