Only the fbdev and glint drivers use this option, all the others get the
fbdev device from the BusID option, unfortunately fbdev_open_pci() will open
the *first* device that matches the device so if you have more than 2
devices it will map the first one again with bad results.
Geert posted recently a patch recently for fbdev_open_pci so it will do the
right thing (i never tested it though) give it a try.
