Basically what happens is that the server fails with:

(EE) No device detected.

when there are more than one display device on the system. Some
logfiles:

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17352098/xorg.log
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19085483/Xorg.log.fail
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18024794/Xorg.0.log

Setting the BusID allows it to work. I've requested the people to try
without an xorg.conf to see if the different autoconfig-paths have
something to do with this..

I've noticed that on x86 things seem to work just fine:

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/18858927/XorgLog.txt

and all the non-working logs are from x86_64-systems.

So, is this another example of 64bit-unsafeness?

I'm seeing the same "(EE) No device detected" error on an x86_64 with 2
NVIDIA cards -- one on mobo, one on pci.

I'm using a source-built 'nvidia' driver (v180.22).

In my case, setting the BusID, apparently, DOES NOT work.

I've previously posted the details, including logs, on nvnews (nvidia)
forum @

When I suggested the Fedora patch to our PCI/driver guys, they responded that
they'd tried similar things before in the kernel and found that they didn't work
on some platforms.   The code they ended up with instead is:

let's also mention Dave's patches:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/3/4/6
http://lists.x.org/pipermail/xorg-devel/2009-March/000400.html

then i suppose X can use pci_device_is_boot_vga() to look for its
"primary" device?
