[K12OSN] Issues with two terminals - xserver fails / Matrox Millenium II

X does see that the card is AGP, not PCI. It also says that because of a hardware bug,
it can't probe the card to find out how much RAM it has, and so it guesses at 4MB.
Probably because of that same hardware bug, in trying to use the MGA driver, it is
unable to allocate memory for the frame buffer, and then X dies. I suggest trying a
couple of things:
1. In the lts.conf file, specify the vesa driver for this workstation, thusly:
XSERVER = vesa
The vesa driver is sometimes labeled as being slower, but I find it's often unnoticable,
and slow is better than non-working. You may need to also set X_VIDEORAM = 4096 or some
such to get it to work.
2. Switch the video card with one from one of the working machines. If the problem
follows the video card, it may be that the cards in those machines are not all
identical. In which case, you may have to replace the non-working card. Used video
cards can be found for $5-$10 that will work fine.
