interesting that you mention the Xserver. I use a dual

setup atm [Nvidia GF3 TI and some matrox pci card]. The nvidia card
seems to work flawlessly even with HW accelleration [i use nvidias
evil binary only drivers]. The matrox card OTH disturbs the soundcard
severely. Whenever i have activity on my second monitor i get sound
artefacts in jack's output [no cracklling, it's rather as if the
volume is set to 0 for short moments and then back to normal]. There's
a certain chance that this artefact produces an xrun. I suppose it's
because the card is on the pci bus.
i have had huge problems with AGP G400/G450 on more than one system.
i spent some time trying various driver and pci options, and although
cant swear that i systematically went through all the options,
i was unable to get them to work satisfactorily.
