Re: [XFree86] Re: Radeon/XF86Config problems
Cool, just to clear it up. It may be an effect of it being unsupported, but its the driver that's specifying the second ID. I couldn't of made that up on my own :P.

Re: [XFree86] Re: Radeon/XF86Config problems
try the most recent CVS. previously some of the secondary device ID's were recognized by the radeon driver, and it tries to grab them, when it shouldn't. Kevin just applied Hui's latest patch which cleans up the PCI ids. Alex - Cool, just to clear it up. It may be an effect of it being unsupported, but its the driver that's specifying the second ID.
