It is possible that the new video card, with new BIOS puts the chip into
two CRTC mode. That should be solvable by using the atyfb framebuffer
driver. You need a kernel version that includes my LCD support patches,
recent 2.4 and 2.6 ones do.

It will put the chip into single CRTC mode (because the framebuffer layer
hardly can handle multiple CRTC's) and should thus allow display Xv on
both displays.

If there's still trouble with that driver loaded (even if you are running
X), I'd like to hear, allthough I'm no longer capable to debug myself as
my Mach64 based laptop has died some time ago.
