I In private, Matt pointed me to "lspci -nn" but also pointed that these info are probably not very useful in the context of X and "lspci" alone should be enough. I'll therefore commit a change replacing "lspci -n" by "lspci" alone. signature.asc Description: Digital signature

I don't understand why you'd want -n. *I* was indeed following the bug reporter suggestion with the main intent of ifxing translations along with the original sentence and do it The Right Way. Of course, as you say "lspci -n" is not useful for the purpose here. Recommending "lspci" alone or "(lspci ; lspci -n)|sort" as we do for D-I would be a better option. Waiting for the final XSF advice and I'll commit one of these. I actually do not insist deeply to commit changes myself...but I insist on translations (debian/po/*po and debian/po/templates.pot) not being broken which means that they should be modified on the fly before running debconf-udpatepo (also note that debconf-updatepo should not be run on a sarge machine). signature.asc Description: Digital signature

The X people assured me it wasn't being used. I'm not reintroducing the
flag. I don't understand why you'd want -n.
Users of PowerPC machines, and users of any computer with multiple video
devices, should specify the BusID of the video card in an accepted
bus-specific format.
.
Examples:
.
ISA:1
PCI:0:16:0
SBUS:/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1000/[EMAIL PROTECTED],10001000/SUNW,[EMAIL
PROTECTED],80
.
For users of multi-head setups, this option will configure only one of the
heads. Further configuration will have to be done manually in the X server
configuration file, /etc/X11/xorg.conf.
.
The lspci command shows the bus location of your PCI, AGP, or PCI-Express
video card in hexadecimal, please note that it must be specified in decimal
in the configuration file.
.
When possible, this question has been pre-answered for you and you should
accept the default unless you know it doesn't work.
Or alternatively, you could include a little program that shows you all
your VGA cards. Something like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl
require "shellwords.pl";
while (<>) {
@line = shellwords($_);
next unless $line[1] =~ /VGA/;
($bus,$dev,$fn) = ($line[0] =~ /^(\S+):(\S+).(\d)/);
$bus = hex($bus);
$dev = hex($dev);
print "PCI:$bus:$dev:$fn ($line[2] $line[3])\n";
}
Normally, you'd invoke it like this:
$ lspci -m | ./Xlspci
PCI:1:0:0 (nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 420 Go 32M])
But for the sake of testing ...
$ echo -e '01:1f.7 "VGA compatible controller" "nVidia Corporation" "NV17
[GeForce4 420 Go 32M]" -ra3 "Hewlett-Packard Company" "tc1100 tablet"\nff:10.5
"VGA compatible controller" "nVidiot Corporation" "NV17 [GeForce4 420 Go 32M]"
-ra3 "Hewlett-Packard Company" "tc1100 tablet"' | ./Xlspci
PCI:1:31:7 (nVidia Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 420 Go 32M])
PCI:255:16:5 (nVidiot Corporation NV17 [GeForce4 420 Go 32M])
(If you prefer not to pipe data at it, this also works:
#!/usr/bin/perl
require "shellwords.pl";
open F, "lspci -m|" || die "Could not execute lspci";
while () {
@line = shellwords($_);
next unless $line[1] =~ /VGA/;
($bus,$dev,$fn) = ($line[0] =~ /^(\S+):(\S+)\.(\d)/);
$bus = hex($bus);
$dev = hex($dev);
print "PCI:$bus:$dev:$fn ($line[2] $line[3])\n";
}
But I prefer to be able to test it).
The advanced hacker might want to extend this to support PCI domains
(hint, use lspci -mD to see domain numbers), but I don't know what the
X syntax is for specifying domains. And we could do with a bit more
error checking ... but I think you see the idea.

Then it should prbably also mention that lspci -n prints hex numbers, but X takes decimal... from the pciutils changelog: pciutils (1:2.2.1-1) unstable; urgency=low [ Matthew Wilcox ] [...] * Remove -X option as upstream has vetoed it. It wasn't actually being used anyway. [...] pciutils (1:2.1.11-13) unstable; urgency=low [...] * Add -X option for output suitable for use in XFree86Config (closes: #251828) Looks like it was used after all. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer
