+If you have two graphic cards (i.e.: a on-board graphics and other AGP/PCI/PCIe
+card) and you would like use the secondary device with DRI, you will need make
+a symbolic link from /dev/dri/card1 to /dev/dri/card0 always. This is a old bug
+of Xorg, the DRI module only reads the first device.

I've modified the patch for correct the format and add the reference to devfsctl

The other patch to the man page of drm. I don't find the bug associated to this
