There is already support for multi-pci systems. See
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/Domain.note for the implementation
notes and how to extend this to support your system.

Thank you for the reference. I have read the note but still don't feel
any closer to finding support for my system. The Domain.note appears to
be geared toward sun linux systems. While the note did mention
multi-domain alpha systems (I assume this is a ref to multi pci-host
bridges) I am still not clear on how I should implement an XFree86
system on an AlphaServer 1200 under FreeBSD. I think I MUST be missing a
point or two... Would it be possible to find further documentation on
this issue so I can get up to speed on X development. From the post I
have been reading on XFree86 and FreeBSD mailing list there are several
people with multi-pci bus alpha systems that would like to assist in
getting XFree up and running under a BSD variant. Thank you for your
assistance!
