I'm running Mandrake 7.1 (X ver. 3.3.6). I agree that the PCI: unknown might
the root of the problem. I'd guess that the video card is not working or that
it is a newer version, but I bought the server new in November from IBM and
I'd think that the latest drivers in 3.3.6 would include it.
I'm thinking on trying X 4.0 today to see if it will help, but it is probably
going to turn out to be a hardware problem. And will probably try to run it in
Frame Buffer mode as IBM's site suggest, although I'm not sure how primitive
the graphics will be. I've never seen Frame Buffer is it like SVGA?
Any ideas on how to test the video card to see if it even works outside of
installing Windows?
