I too have a dually, and XFree 4.2 locks up under QNX RTP 6.1A when running
SMP on three different video cards for me: Mach64, S3Trio, MGA G200, that's
all I have in the closet :-)  BTW, the first two cards are PCI, and the G200
is AGP.

Like Johan if I boot single CPU XFree 4.2 is fine.  Photon and everything
else seems to be working very well under SMP for me (if not for Johan).

Could there be some non-SMP safe code in the XFree86 4.2 hardware layer in
the QNX port.?  XFree86 4.2 under Linux on the same hardware is working
well.  Is XFree86 4.2 even multi-threaded?  Any extra logging I could enable
to track this down?
