> Without the output from `scanpci -v -v` that I asked you for, there is nothing I can rework it to.
This is strange, my second message, submitted on 22/06, was sent by the list only on 30/06, along with you first answer. This is the reason I didn't saw the question about the scanpci. Anyway, here it is (on the Dell GX270). This is the scanpci shipped with the "faulty" XFree86, which displays the INVALID IO ALLOCATION error. At the end, you will find the (small) diff with the scanpci of my modified XFree (patch on linuxPci.c removed and no INVALID IO ALLOCATION error) : Loïc
