amd64 trouble - how to initialize secondary video cards?

[Helge H. <hel...@ai...>]

I tried booting a 64-bit ruby kernel today.
Userspace is still debian i386 though.

The second display failed, because the video adapter need
bios initialization.  I got this in my dmesg:

XFree86: vm86 mode not supported on 64 bit kernel

So what to do?  Is it fixable by installing a X compiled
for amd64?  Or do I need to find a video card that doesn't
need any bios initialization?
