I actually ment: http://www.reputable.com/indytech.html#DualHead This "dual head graphics option board"(as it is called there) looks very much like a XL.

The current "probing" is crap and let's an I2 halt immediately with a bus error. As I said before: if both of these cards are XL(aka newport, although the "lower" one might be a slight variation to allow for the daughter board) and not XZ(aka fullhouse) you might have chances to get this working by only adjusting the base addresses(the likely ones are in include/video/newport.h). -- Guido
