Re: r128 driver still borked in XF4.0.1-9pre10

It's possible that the black screen was caused by a font path issue that,
I think, was recently fixed in XFree CVS. The PCI problems are of a
different nature.

Nope, it was a PCI problem -- moved the card to slot 1 (bus 0) and it
works fine now... however, my second ethernet card, which now resides
in slot 5 (bus 1 card 2) now doesn't function properly...
(it *seems* to work, but ceases to function after a short while
saying "no interrupts being serviced" or something similar).

PS.  If it helps, it appears that the kernel is incorrectly assigning the
    IRQ for my video board to IRQ 1.. Looking at /proc/interrupts, I don't
    see that there have been any interrupts serviced for IRQ 1, so I'm
    assuming either it is intentionally hidden from the kernel, or is
    unused and may actually be used by a PCI card.. anyone care to
    comment on this?

No, IRQ 1 may well be correct. I don't think the video driver uses it's
interrupts in Linux.

You more probably have a machine with 2 host bridges (and no PCI<->PCI
bridge), so you can either try with Michel Lanners patches for 2.2, or try
a recent 2.4.

Tried both 2.4.0test11 and 2.2.17 & 2.2.18pre21 w/ Michel Lanners patches;
none of them solved the problem.  I will check the 2.4 bitkeeper kernel,
though.

Do you have 2 "bandit" chips in the device-tree ?
