Hi!

        I have just tested CVS version of XFree86 on the same hardware as
in http://www.xfree86.org/pipermail/xpert/2001-September/011381.html .

        Without HAL module CVS has exactly the same problems as 4.0.3.

        However, with Option "Int10" the driver managed to half-initialize
non-primary cards.  "Half-initialize" means that the videomode was set
up (now videoram size on AGP was correctly identified) and even something
resembling X background is visible, but is totally garbled and with bad
"video effects", and even HW cursor is a random square on the 1st head.
Upon exit the 1st head isn't correctly turned off (Nokia 447PRO displays
"Invalid mode: 160kHz 100Hz").

        BTW, what is interesting is that after first running X with HAL
module and than disabling it, subsequent runs correctly identify
non-primary AGP as having 32MB RAM.  (Looks like there is some
programmable "memory size" register which is set by either BIOS or HAL.)
