I don't get any errors on this computer related to a secondary adapter. 
X does start up very slowly though when I first try to start X using 
runlevel 3 and startx from the terminal. This is with an Intel i815 
video card w/ 64 MB video memory also.

I get the below excerpt: dmesg

Linux agpgart interface v0.100 (c) Dave Jones
agpgart: Detected an Intel i815 Chipset.
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 438M
agpgart: AGP aperture is 64M @ 0xf8000000

There is no secondary video device message in dmesg.

X works fine after it gets up and running for me. It is the first boot 
that is the only problem here.

The spacial feature is easily overridden. (as desired user using 
gconf-editor) :-)

I like the new (or at least just noiced this feature)
"edit > select pattern" feature. I just started using firefox and it 
downloaded everything to $HOME. I had to move the stuff to a different 
location. (rpms for multimedia). I like moz because of it prompting for 
a location instead of just blindly downloading stuff w/o prompting the 
user for a download location. It did allow me to use the pattern match 
option though.
