[ILUG] ATI Xpert 2000 Pro

[Barry Carroll]

Something is definitely amiss here:

You say that you have an Xpert2000Pro, but this:
===
pci bus 0x1 cardnum xxxx function xxxxxx: vendor xxxxxx device xxxxxx
ATI  Mach64
===
Refers to ATI's older chipsets (Mach64CT/VT/GT, Rage1, Rage2c and Rage Pro)
Is it possible that you have an onboard graphics chipset in addition to
your Xpert2000Pro.

ALso, just to verify what the Xpert2000Pro is like: Does it have a
heatsink?,
and please verify that it is an actual card and not integrated on the
motherboard.

Barry.

I would just expect that my kernel would be able to see the card as I have
the drivers installed but don't think that it can.

# scanpci -v
{all the other cards}
pci bus 0x1 cardnum 0x00 function 0x0000: vendor 0x1002 device 0x5446
 ATI  Device unknown <---- *** This tends to suggest to me that it can't ***

I have looked as the output from another computer at work today with an ATI
card and it looks like this.

# scanpci -v
{all the other cards}
pci bus 0x1 cardnum xxxx function xxxxxx: vendor xxxxxx device xxxxxx
 ATI  Mach64

Would it be possible that I have to tell the kernel where to find the
card?

I have a 2.4.8 kernel with XFree86 4.1.0

Roger
