You also explained on IRC:

  Normally when you boot, the system bios initializes your video
  card by executing a routine in the video bios. That's what we call
  posting. So in your case, the non-int10 post code in the ddx needs
  to be fixed, or we need to make int10 stuff work for seconday
  cards with libpciaccess.

It didn't. :(

Any idea how long that "short term" is? 1.4.x works fine for me at
the moment, but I'd rather not build on that basis for indeterminate
time...
