Thanks for the tip.  I can't find any such option in the bios though, I hope
that the next board will have it. (If it ever arrives.)

That particular radeon turned out to be broken.  I finally pulled the 
AGP card
so the PCI radeon became the only one.  The pc booted but there were 
vertical
stripes only on the screen - the colors were recogniseable but that was it!

So it looks like the int10 thing in xfree works - but the card itself is 
broken
and I am exchanging it.  Seems I have real bad luck with hardware.
