Hello,
I admit it could not be the best philosophical approach, but probably
you could opt for an external card if going with integrated intel is
so a nightmare....
I see that your mb is a microatx and don't know if it would be
feasible in your configuration, but your mb seems to have:
AGP connector supporting 1x, 2x, and 4x AGP cards (1.5 V only) or an
AGP Digital Display (ADD) card
So you could buy for less that 50$ something like:
ATI X1650 PRO 512MB 512 AGP 8X 4X Video Card X1650PRO
(I think well supported by open ati driver: I have an X1900 and it
works quite well)
nVIDIA GeForce 6200 512MB DDR2 4X 8X AGP Video Card 512
(and it should work quite well with proprietary drivers)
and with less than 25$ you could buy an
Ati Radeon 9000 256MB AGP 2X/4X Video Card Vga+Dvi
Just my 2 eurocents, even if I am with you from a philosophical point of view.
But I think you also have to compare the cost of your time against the
cost of a cheap alternative ...

A friend of mine where I installed Fedora 10 x86 has an Ati 9200 and it works...
In which sense your ati ones don't work?

In the sense that any but the primary locks up at the "int10" stage. Therefore,
no multi-head. In that sense ... not working.

That's also the RV280 chipset, and that one works fine here.
What exactly doesn't work for you? Is it in bugzilla?

*sigh*
One works fine on its own, three don't. Even one, as "secondary", locks up
in
the POST.
I'm a little fed up with hearing "that works for me" from people who
aren't
running three of them at once ....

Aha, that explains it then. A special usage scenario. ;)

Then take this as advise and be more verbose in order to avoid
misunderstandings.

Yes, and I said "be more verbose". For example, if you had confirmed that
"1 * radeon 9250" works, but _three at once_ (or even two at once) do not,
that would have been much more explicit and would remove ambiguities.

I have to agree, I didn't realize this was a special case. Considerably
more explanation would help here.

As you don't explain exactly how the cards do not work...let me
guess....you are totally certain that your power supply has enough
wattage to supply that many Radeon cards? I've always thought that video
cards are incredibly hungry for juice. I wonder what substituting a
bigger power supply will do.

PSU was replaced with one rated at twice the output already. And we're talking
about PCI radeon 9250, not HD48xx :o)
It works fine with F8 up to kernel 2.6.24.7-92.fc8. After that, mostly OK, but
locks up after anything from an hour to a day, and can trigger a "hard" freeze
by running a few 3D apps then (oddly) quitting one of them.
As F8 was near EOL when I discovered the latter, it's NOT been filed as a bug.
So it doesn't exist ;o)
Anyway, I don't really consider having two or three graphics cards to in any way
be an "edge case" since X always was designed to support multiple displays.

And how's that relevant for the suggestion to buy ONE such card?
OK, he may get into primary/secondary problems if the BIOS doesn't support
disabling the onboard card, but normally BIOSes support that.

It's not, I'm just ****** off 'cause mine aren't supported properly. They
almost
work; as of last night current rawhide can get the first card working, and some
corrupted junk on the second, but trying to start up all three still doesn't.
I'll file some bugs when I can be bothered spending the extra time at the end of
my working day.
