Who is stomping PCI config space?

I have two video cards:
PCI Rage128
AGP Radeon

X is loaded on the Rage128 on VT7
X is not configured to support the radeon

I switch to VT1 and load radeonfb
This works fine.

Now I switch to VT7 and dump PCI config space for the radeon

[root at jonsmirl 0000:01:00.0]# hexdump config >/foo
[root at jonsmirl 0000:01:00.0]# diff /foo /bar

Somebody is changing PCI command from 83 to 80 and disabling my
radeon's memory and iospace. Who is doing this? It has to be X since
it doesn't happen if I switch to VT6 or VT8.

Why is X mucking with a card it doesn't have a driver loaded for? 
Where is this happening in the X code?
