[Bug 55104] Re: panic/lock/restart on dapper-amd64 if there's intel integrated video AND a nvidia card at the same time

[Alexandre Otto Strube]

Ben, even if I disable the addon video chip (the boards I'm working on
this have all this setting and none of them works), the issue raises.
And the device is still present on the system. Broken bios, I know. As
there are some of those boards around, a fix is still needed.

One extra issue is that the onboard video shows up as available (even
when it is'nt), the configure option for xorg still selects the onboard
video.

To clarify:
- This is tested on stock live CD, so it's not an issue of a machine with extra universe/multiverse stuff.
- I disabled the onboard video on bios setup.
- Both video cards have monitors plugged on it.
- Intel onboard shows nothing even during bios POST.
- Everything from the very start shows up in the monitor plugged on nvidia.
- As soon as the restricted modules are loaded, the machines will hang, restart or panic. The behavior seems not to be deterministic.
- If I use the package included above (by creating a live CD which contains it), the system will boot, but no X for the aformentioned reasons.

This second issue will be detailed in another bug.
