Re: motherboards

[Ander C. de O. <an...@c3...>]

I was debugging the X server with two pci sis315pro cards, and I found 
that the computer hangs when the server tries to access the vga memory 
to save the vga state. The problem appears to be that no matter what 
card is being started, the server always tries to save the state of the 
primary vga card. Removing the lines that save and restore the vga state 
I could init the two servers.
