I don't think r128 is that modern..

I did but without much luck.

These options parsed fine but generated warnings about the fact that they
were ignored.
Running with a single active "Screen" section works fine, but xrandr gives
no indication that it's aware of more than one head/display.
Looking through the r128_driver.c code it looks like the IsPrimary and
IsSecondary booleans only get set to true if there is more than one screen
defined by the configuration.
I did some poor man's debugging of the original issue (by adding some log
print statements to the code). The function which is throwing the "invalid
argument" error is pci_device_map_range, called from R128MapMMIO. With my
dual-screen xinerama config, R128MapMMIO is called once for each screen
during pre-init. This succeeds for both screens (and is followed by
corresponding UnMap calls). It is called again in ScreenInit. The call for
the primary screen succeeds, but the call for the secondary screen fails.
The arguments from the secondary screen's ScreenInit call are _exactly_ the
same as they are in the pre-init call so it's either a really weird bug or
something is happening to pScrn structure in the interim to make it
"invalid."
I didn't follow the chain of events any farther than that. Is there a good
forum on e.g. freedesktop to get some help with this if it's not FreeBSD-
specific?
Thanks,
JN
