>Environment:

FreeBSD 9.1-RC2 amd64

>Description:

I have an MSI K9VGM-V motherboard with on-board graphics (VIA Chrome9)
and also I have an ATI X600 board plugged into the PCIe x16 slot on
the board.

Previously, I had no trouble with this combination, but in the latest
xorg stuff, when running "X -configure" I got a fatal error:

>How-To-Repeat:

I don't know.  I guess that you would have to try to have both a Via Chrome 9
graphics chipset _also_ also an ATI X800 (r300) card plugged in.

Or perhaps nowdays "X -configure" will just barf if it is run on any
system where there exists one or more graphocs chipsets that are not
connected to any monitor(s).

I have no idea.  Sorry.
