I installed XFree86 with Debian 3.0 r1, so it's
configured to start up automatically and I have no idea how to disable this in
order to avoid being told, each time I start Linux, that XFree86 has failed to
run. I downloaded and installed the then-latest version of XFree86 a couple of
months ago; it's 4.3.0, released on February 27, 2003, but this did not fix the
problem. The XFree86 log file says something about the primary display device
having a PCI bus ID of 1:0:0, but it also says something about another device at
location 1:0:1 that has no drivers, or something; I don't remember exactly what
it says, but I'll attach a copy of the file anyway. Oddly enough, under Windows
(I'm running a dual-boot system here) the Device Manager in the System control
panel has two display adapters listed, although I only have one graphics card
installed, a Radeon 9000 Pro with 64 MB VRAM from Gigabyte Technology. One is
labeled R9000 and the other, Radeon 9000 / Radeon 9000 PRO. At some point I
disabled the latter with the device manager, causing no problems whatsoever:
everything seemed to work properly, and in spite of this, Linux has a problem
with some device at location 1:0:1, the address of the adapter labeled Radeon
9000 / Radeon 9000 PRO in Windows (the one labeled R9000 has location
1:0:0).
I have no idea if it's useful information, but I'll
list the so-called resource settings of each "adapter" as given by the Device
Manager:
R9000:
Memory Ranges F8000000 - FBFFFFFF, E7800000 -
E780FFFF,
000A0000 - 000BFFFF
I/O Ranges D800 - D8FF, 03B0 - 03BB, 03C0 -
03DF
IRQ 16
Radeon 9000 / Radeon 9000 PRO:
Memory Ranges F4000000 - F7FFFFFF, E7FF0000 -
E7FFFFFF
no I/O Ranges or IRQ listed
If you could offer any insight as to what the
problem is I would be most appreciative.
