PCI after 7.2 came out and XFDrake get so tied up with i810 and it wouldnt
detect my PCI video card. I just bought ATI all in wonder and the same thing
had occurred. XFDrake seems to have a problem with distinguishing AGP and
PCI, and it certainly doesnt read my BIOS settings. In my BIOS setting, I
have enable my PCI video as my primary and disabled my AGP built-in chip.
and XFDrake still says I have an i810 and nothing else. It seems to me it's
a dirty bug in XFDrake for those who have i810 and wants PCI. Does anyone
have a solution?
