Yeah. I've been digging into it and discovered (via strace) that Xorg is terminating its brute force pci scan of /proc/bus/pci/... a bit before encountering my video device, which is the last device in the pci space. scanpci and lspci show my video, but "Xorg -scanpci" doesn't show the device. I've submitted is as Bugzilla bug 214050 at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=214050 Regards -- Charlie -----Original Message----- From: Jim Cornette [mailto:fc-cornette@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, November 04, 2006 8:46 PM To: For users of Fedora Subject: Re: FC6 - X server can't start - embedded ATI Rage XL AGP - DellPowerEdge 700 Charles Butterfield wrote: > After converting from FC5 to FC6 (clean install, NOT an upgrade), I can > no longer get my X server to start. > > Target System: > - Machine: Dell PowerEdge 700 > - Integrated Video: ATI Rage XL AGP > > > Snippets from key files: > /etc/sysconfig/hwconf -- includes the following: > class: VIDEO > bus: PCI > detached: 0 > desc: "ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL" > video.xdriver: ati > vendorId: 1002 > deviceId: 4752 > subVendorId: 1028 > subDeviceId: 0167 > pciType: 1 > pcidom: 0 > pcibus: 3 > pcidev: e > pcifn: > > /etc/X11/xorg.conf - includes the following: > Section "Device" > Identifier "Videocard0" > Driver "ati" > EndSection > > /var/log/Xorg.0.log -- end with: > (II) Primary Device is: ISA > (II) ATI: Candidate "Device" section "Videocard0". > (EE) No devices detected > > Any advice about what to do next would be appreciated. > - Charlie Butterfield > This sounds like a bug to me since it is a pci device in hwconfig and if I am reading the snippets correctly, it is detected or the information is wrong in one or the other.
