So here's where I am :

-> onboard set as "output-device screen"
-> PGX64 removed
* dmesg's display on the onboard.
* startx displays (1280x1204x60@16bits)

-> onboard set as "output-device screen:r1280x1024x60"
-> PGX64 pluggued in
* dmesg's display on the onboard.

* it's using 1280x1024x60 till there is some visual kind of resize.
* then I can't see anything when I type things with the keyboard,
  startx, ... The LCD still says it's resolution is 1280x1204x60
* if I try to startx (with the working XF86Config.onboard or
  XF86Config.pgx64), X dies saying :
Fatal server error:

-> PGX64 pluggued in
-> PGX64 set as "output-device screen2:r1280x1024x60" (with
show-displays/nvalias)
* dmesg's display on the PGX64

* it's using 1152x900x66
* `XFree86 -configure` don't crash. The XF86Config.new only contains one
  Card (the "Rage XL")
* startx runs but LCD says "can't display"
* same behaviour, when I use "output-device screen:r1280x1024x60"

So the only way to have the onboard working (1280x1024x60@16bits) is
when no other video card is pluggued. I'll remove the PGX64 to get the
X modes you talked about, and try to apply them when PGX64 is pluggued.
But I'll do it tomorrow, gotta get back home now :)

cheers,
