    As the Pegasos2 board is out and selling, is it possible to use two radeons (agp+pci) at once with it's firmware??? ;-)

    AGAIN!!!?? Why did you create another thread for the same question? Moreover we already answered you. If you put a Radeon AGP in your Peg/PegII you CAN'T use any other GFX board.
    With other GFX card other combo are possible.
    Pegasos OF inits at boot the first board it encounters on the PCI bus. And Radeon can be used by MOS only if they are inizialized at boot. So if you plug a Radeon AGP it'ok, but if you add other cards on PCI slots the Radeon will not work because it will not be inizialized as first.
    If you don't use Radeon AGP many GFX combo are possible useing Radeon PCI, Sis AGP/PCI, Permedia2 AGP/PCI and Voodoo AGP/PCI. Of course if you choose to use two boards (one AGP + one PCI for example) of the same family like 2 Voodoos you should use different models (eg. Voodoo3 PCI + Voodoo4/5 AGP) otherwise mos will be confused.
    Are you less confused now? If not we could start another thread.. ;-)
    Hey, just kidding!

    Actually I believe that only the combination of two Voodoo 3 cards have been confirmed as not working. I will not make any statements about which combos might work, only tried the voodoos here :)

    Hmm, sure thing, my fault :-P But I hoped, that Pegasos2 firmware is a bit more updated about this stuff...

    Well, I suppose, I got it very clearly now :-) No need to start a new thread ;-) But will it be 'once' possible to have two radeons? Will there be such an openfirmware update? Well, I don't expect much ;-) But, hey! :-D

    Afiak 2 Radeon will not be possible any time soon. This is how the hardware works. Maybe someday though...
