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. Regards, Milan Zamazal -- http://www.zamazal.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
