So, the problem really is two here: - your video card doesn't detect the new display - your pci devices do not show up The first one probably needs to be reported to the Intel video driver people, they can help you out the best. The second one means that something is up with the pci hotplug controller. I've cced the linux-pci list, the people there should be able to help out better than I, as I no longer have any PCI hotplug hardware to work with anymore. > 3) Again, I have tried to load pciehp and acpiphp with both EFI boot > and BIOS emulation boot: > - pciehp loads ok but as I said earlier, no message whatsoever in > everything.log when I try to connect the thunderbolt display If you load it with debugging enabled, do you get extra messages in the log? > - acpiphp: I was wrong yesterday.

Yes, it "should" work, but figuring out what the pci hotplug method that is going on is going to be the main thing to solve here. Oh, what exact machine is this? Maybe I can ask around and see if I can dig up one myself, and hey, I always need an excuse to get a new display :) thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-pci" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
