And rightly so. With the NV18 PCI, NV34 PCIe, NV42 PCIe plugged in,
with "AutoAddGPU" disabled the NV18 and NV42 seem fine. However merely
starting X (not xinit, not startx, not [gkx]dm) on the NV34 and ^C'ing
it (with no clients connecting to said X), causes a "failed to idle
channel" message in dmesg, which apparently never rectifies itself, so
X is hung forever. FTR, there were no displays connected either, but I
tried the exact same procedure without the MSI patch and it worked
fine. Here is the init sequence with the MSI patch:
