Video Bios Problems
I've been trying to get 2 video cards working on my computer, but the video bios on the secondary card won't initialize. Xorg.0.log usually says something like:
(II) NV(1): Initializing int10
Requesting insufficient memory window!: start: 0xea000000 end: 0xebffffff size 0xef010000
Requesting insufficient memory window!: start: 0xee000000 end: 0xefffffff size 0xef010000
Requesting insufficient memory window!: start: 0xea000000 end: 0xebffffff size 0xef010000

Requesting insufficient memory window!: start: 0xee000000 end: 0xefffffff size 0xef010000
(EE) NV(1): Cannot read V_BIOS (3)
I've tried multiple cards and it is always the secondary card that won't initialize.
I have an ATI dualhead (radeon 7000) and an AGP nvidia TNT2 card. I've tried using an ATI rage 128 pro PCI card instead of the nvidia card. both received the same error. The don't think cards bios are being initialized properly. I'm using an K8 Triton with an nForce 3 chipset with kernel 2.6.16-1.2096_FC5.
Here is my xorg.conf file:

# Either card works assuming that it was the one first detected by the bios,
# which I can control by telling the bios to check PCI or AGP first for a video card

# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database. Note, this is the name of the
# file minus the extension (like ".txt" or ".db"). There is normally
# no need to change the default.
# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent of
# the X server to render fonts.

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults). For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
# Option "XkbModel" "pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
# Option "XkbModel" "microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# or:
# Option "XkbLayout" "de"
# Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
# Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
