I need to port the pegasos patches to 2.6.x first though. Yes. They are both OF cards and both are initialized by OF. Your cards have a VGA BIOS? Well, I guess that shouldn't be a problem. The Peggy's BIOS emulator must be able to cope with I/O ports not being in the usual (x86) place - because chances are they won't be anyway even for a single card. Does the Pegasos boot the BIOS on a secondardy gfx card automatically? If not, you're back to the usual x86 problem of having to soft-boot the BIOS yourself. Which will be a problem for you because I suppose the BIOS emulator isn't accessible post-boot. However, it should be possible to initialize a second Voodoo card without using its BIOS, but I've no idea how easy or difficult that might be. Fun and games. ;-) Of course, you have to get 2.6 working first or hack the 2.4 driver for multi-head support . . .
