Just on my own system I'm seeing something of an issue while debugging
the dual-head issue,

my secondary head is being assigned non-prefetchable resources outside
the bridge,
PCI: Transparent bridge - 0000:00:1e.0

PCI: Bridge: 0000:00:1e.0
  IO window: b000-bfff
  MEM window: ff900000-ff9fffff
  PREFETCH window: e8000000-efffffff
is the bridge,

02:02.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100
QY [Radeon 7000/VE] (prog-if 00 [VGA])
        Subsystem: C.P. Technology Co. Ltd: Unknown device 2049
        Flags: stepping, medium devsel, IRQ 255
        Memory at e8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [disabled] [size=128M]
        I/O ports at b000 [disabled] [size=256]
        Memory at ffff0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled] [size=64K]
        Expansion ROM at ff900000 [disabled] [size=128K]
        Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2

is the device,

when I modprobe radeon which does pci_enable_device, the bars are enabled...

However when X starts it tries to reassign the memory at 0xffff0000
down into the bridge memory... at 0xfff90000,  should the kernel do
this? or does it actually matter if the memory is behind the bridge as
its transparent... maybe I can at least patch X to check for
transparent bridges...

Dave.
