I came across this thread when I encountered the fatal server issue 
described above on one of the systems I upgraded to Xorg 7.3.  I have a 
couple of systems that use these cards as secondary displays in multihead 
configurations because they just worked.

I would be more than happy to do some testing (may need a little hand 
holding).  I am not subscribed to the list, so please cc me.

I realize that support for these cards will not last forever, so I would 
be interested in hearing what AGP/PCI combinations people are using for 
their multihead configuration.
