The adapter will not function without being initialised by its BIOS, and
there's not much the driver (by itself) can do about it. So the next step
is to figure out why that BIOS can't be retrieved. Towards that end,
please send me the output from `scanpci -v` on this system, after a
powerdown-reboot, but before any attempt to start an X server.
Secondly, you appear to have an incomplete installation of XFree86 4.6.0,
as /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libint10.a is missing. Although I
don't think this is relevant to the problem.
I have disabled the X by changing the runlevel to init 3 followed by
reboot. After reboot I have issued the command "scanpci -v" and
output is attached in scanpci.txt.
Thanks. Next, let's try retrieving that BIOS ourselves. Again, before
attempting to start any X server, please do, as root, ...
pcitweak -r 2:4:0 0x30
You should see ...
0x80120000
If so, continue with ...
pcitweak -w 2:4:0 0x30 0x80120001
mmapr /dev/mem 0x80120000 0x20000 | gzip -9 > BIOS.gz
pcitweak -w 2:4:0 0x30 0x80120000
... and send me (privately, not to the list) BIOS.gz.
Please be mindful of typos in the above commands.
Yes you are right, int10 is missing under /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux.
I will check it out the reason for this behaviour.
OK.
Thanks.
Marc.
