Hello, we ran into two problems with the ati driver. First - it seems to screw up when switching resolution on Sun PGX64 cards ( these use a Rage XL with 8MB VRAM). The result is a monitor reporting frequencies out of range, even when forced to use something very conservative that works with the same monitor and a different graphics controller. It works just fine with a Rage Pro.
Second - the driver seems to either ignore the BusID parameter.
Log excerpt:
(--) PCI: (1:2:0) ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage Pro 215GP rev 92, Mem @
0xe100000 0/24, 0xe2000000/12, I/O @ 0xffffff00/8, BIOS @ 0xe1020000/17
(--) PCI: (2:1:0) ATI Technologies Inc Rage XL rev 39, Mem
@0x11000000/24, 0x12 000000/12, I/O @ 0xffffff00/8, BIOS @ 0x12020000/17
That's the onboard Rage Pro and a Sun PGX64 in a Sun Ultra 5
The Device section in XF86Config:
Section "Device"

EndSection
but XFree fails with this:
(II) ATI: Candidate "Device" section "Card0".
(II) ATI: Unshared PCI/AGP Mach64 in slot 1:2:0 detected.
Fatal server error:
xf86MapVidMem: could not mmap screen [s=2000,a=12000000] (Invalid
argument)
So it tries to map PCI resources belonging to the Rage XL while the
Device section clearly says it should use the onboard Rage Pro. Even if
it's only probing it shouldn't fail here since the device it's supposed
to use is definitely usable - with the Rage XL removed it works as
expected.
The Xserver in question is:
XFree86 Version 4.5.0

X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0

any ideas?
Anything we should import from XFree -current?
have fun
Michael
PS: the Rage XL isn't mine, I'm merely forwarding problem reports I've
been unable to resolve.
