Yes, this is quite likely when the ATi Card isn't posted correctly. If the card is secondary and the Xserver cannot find the BIOS this is quite likely. > > Perhaps I am mislead myself, but shouldn't this setup require RAC (which > is not being used according to the log)? Hm, not necessarily. Depends on how the resources are registered. The real question is why isn't the BIOS found? I fixed a PCIROM read problem in the ATi Radeon driver a while ago, this fix should be in CVS, though. I don't have the log so I cannot check if this says something about the nature of the BIOS problems.
