6.9.0 drivers no longer handle multiple cards?

Under XFree I used to have three monitors driven by three graphics cards (an
AGP Matrox G400 and two old PCI ATI Mach64 cards). I replaced the Matrox with
an ATI 9600 for which I had to upgrade to Xorg 6.9.0. Unfortunately changing
two variables at the same time I don't know whether the problem is a change in
behaviour in the drivers or whether it's a consequence of the different video
bios in the ATI card.

Either way, X seems entirely uninterested in doing anything with the PCI cards
now:

(==) ATI(1): Chipset:  "ati".
(**) ATI(1): Depth 15, (--) framebuffer bpp 16
(**) ATI(1): Option "tv_out"
(**) ATI(1): Option "tv_standard" "NTSC"
(II) Loading sub module "int10"
(II) LoadModule: "int10"
(II) Reloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libint10.so
(EE) ATI(1): Cannot read V_BIOS
(WW) ATI(1): Unable to initialise int10 interface.
(EE) ATI(1): Adapter has not been initialised.
(==) ATI(2): Chipset:  "ati".
(**) ATI(2): Depth 16, (--) framebuffer bpp 16
(**) ATI(2): Option "tv_out"
(**) ATI(2): Option "tv_standard" "NTSC"
(II) Loading sub module "int10"
(II) LoadModule: "int10"
(II) Reloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libint10.so
(EE) ATI(2): Cannot read V_BIOS
(WW) ATI(2): Unable to initialise int10 interface.
(EE) ATI(2): Adapter has not been initialised.
(II) UnloadModule: "ati"
(II) UnloadModule: "int10"
(II) UnloadModule: "atimisc"
(II) UnloadModule: "ati"
(II) UnloadModule: "int10"
(II) UnloadModule: "atimisc"
(II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/atimisc_drv.so

I attached the complete log to what looks like several other people reporting
the same type of problem:
