What's the difference between "built in" and "on the PCI bus"? Both types are physically a part of the mainboard, and need to be quirked, right? The corner case I was referring to is where someone plugs an *external* VIA-based PCI card into a PCI slot on a VIA motherboard. In that case, the PCI card gets quirked too, when it didn't need to be, and this may or may not cause problems... > You know from the northbridge which devices are internal and which are > external. I don't know much about PCI. How can I detect this? Alternatively if you (or anyone else who knows PCI) wants to write a new patch or modify the existing one I would have no objections. I can also get a few people to test it. Thanks.
