[ILUG] Jaunty Mach64 X.org issue

[ILUG] Jaunty Mach64 X.org issue

FRLinux frlinux at gmail.com

Hello,

We have a little issue with the latest version of Ubuntu (Jaunty)
which does not detect the second card on the system when launching X,
we have file a bug report on launchpad for that but am wondering if
someone might have more insight about this. From what I know, the ATI
driver was split into 3 modules (radeon, mach64, r128) and it seems to
be creating the issue since on hardy, everything was working.

Here is a link to the bug report:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21617

Is that something that others have seen? Any help welcome. We've tried
the proprietary one which freezes the display.

As a reference, here is the /etc/X11/xorg.conf :
