RE: FC6 - X server can't start - embedded ATI Rage XL AGP - DellPowerEdge 700

Yeah.  I've been digging into it and discovered (via strace) that Xorg
is terminating its brute force pci scan of /proc/bus/pci/... a bit
before encountering my video device, which is the last device in the pci
space.  scanpci and lspci show my video, but "Xorg -scanpci" doesn't
show the device.

I've submitted is as Bugzilla bug 214050 at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=214050

This sounds like a bug to me since it is a pci device in hwconfig and if

I am reading the snippets correctly, it is detected or the information 
is wrong in one or the other.
