hi!
this goes to both neomagic an vortex mailing list, because without starting X
i don't have problems, but the problems are with then network card ...
(and it worked, some releases back ...)
hardware: sony vaio F350, neomagic 256AV 2.5MB, 3com 575 pcmcia card
software: linux 2.4.19-pre10/linux 2.4.18, pcmcia-cs-3.1.33/pcmcia-cs-3.1.34,
xfree86-4.2.0
distibution: gentoo 1.2 (compiled *everything*)/suse 8.0
(items seperated with / mean i tried it with BOTH versions)
problem: when i start x (X or X -probeonly) i get PCI errors with my network card (pcmcia)
it seems to be the fault of the pci probing, its possibly an irq conflict
question: can it be really the pci probing? can i disable the probing?
how to force the networkcard/gfx-chip to a certain irq?
info:
* worked the last time with suse 7.3 (xfree86-4.0.2 or 4.1.0, pcmcia-3.1.29, linux 2.4.10)
* starting sound does not interfere in any way (neomagic 256 AV has sound too)
* it worked once, but i could not reproduce it (i beleive for once the networkcard
was not on irq9 (shared), which ist the irq of the neomagic)
* current start order: pcmcia, sound, network, X
attached: xfree86 config, /var/log/messges, XF86 start log, /proc/interrupts, dmesg
MfG,
Armin Obersteiner
