I'm trying to get Xorg working on my Netra 1125 (essentially an Ultra 60). I have a Raptor graphics card in one of the PCI slots - BUT, apparently this machine has multiple PCI buses and Xorg only scans the first on (which on my system seems to be internal/onboard devices only).

Output of lspci (showing both buses):
Code:

baldrick X11 # lspci
80:00.0 Host bridge: Sun Microsystems Computer Corp. Psycho PCI Bus Module
80:01.0 Bridge: Sun Microsystems Computer Corp. EBUS (rev 01)
80:01.1 Ethernet controller: Sun Microsystems Computer Corp. Happy Meal (rev 01)
0001:00:00.0 Host bridge: Sun Microsystems Computer Corp. Psycho PCI Bus Module

0001:00:03.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c875 (rev 14)
0001:00:03.1 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c875 (rev 14)

0001:00:04.1 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB (rev 43)
0001:00:04.2 USB Controller: NEC Corporation USB 2.0 (rev 04)
0001:00:05.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq ES1371 [AudioPCI-97] (rev 06)


Output of Xorg -scanpci (which only shows the first bus):
Code:

baldrick X11 # Xorg -scanpci
Probing for PCI devices (Bus:Device:Function)

(128:0:0) Sun Microsystems Computer Corp. Psycho PCI Bus Module
(128:1:0) Sun Microsystems Computer Corp. EBUS
(128:1:1) Sun Microsystems Computer Corp. Happy Meal


Any ideas how I can get Xorg to probe the second PCI bus?

...it appears as though I need to apply this patch.

All good so far:
Code:

Let me add this as a "Me Too".

I'm running an E250 with a TI_PM2. Xorg detects it fine on a 2.4 kernel, but doesn't seem to see it on a 2.6 kernel (even when I specify the busId in the xorg.conf). Any chance of this patch making it into portage?

Thanks muchly,
Frank Russo

strange - r u sure its the same issue? xorg uses its own pci discovery - it does not rely on kernel functions for that.
thats main reason why its broken in 6.8 (last time it actually worked fine is in xfree 3.3).

I am absolutely certain.

2.4/devfs and Xorg = Finds the TI_PM2
2.6/Udev and Xorg = Does not find the TI_PM2

I will post my xorg.0.log when I get to work tomorrow. Aside from that, the system works extremely well. LSPCI sees the card fine, and the console FB detects and runs.

Stay Tuned,
Frank

K, I started a new thread on my issue, as it may or may not be related.

https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-442939.html

Take a peek and see if it's the same behavior.
