Regarding above, is this a dual head card? The secondary ID present.

Regarding below, I'd be confused with PCI, AGP PCIE combined PCI/AGP.

This matcches up with the comment on the secondary ID asked above. It 
appears to detect it, then cannot find it later.

This information probably needs to be submitted to bugzilla. I am only 
trying to learn from trying to decipher the information. By no way do I 
grasp all the problem scope.

Why is Load "dri" commented out, then added again directly under?

What happens if you uncomment the horizontal and vertical info? The rest 
of the file looks like what I normally see in the file.
