Actually, http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18160 was the one I CCed 
on, because it looked like the same problem I was seeing.

However, currently, POSTing secondary video cards doesn't work at all, and even 
F10 with all updates (at least as of about four days ago) can't actually drive 
the 3 PCI video cards in my desktop system at work.

Home machine is fine, because it only has one graphics card in it.

It's an upstream issue, and I have been told several times that it will be dealt 
with eventually, but in the meantime, I'm stuck on F8 at work.
