Package: discover
Version: 2.0.7-2.1
Severity: important

Hello

While trying to reconfiguring xserver-xorg I noticed that it did no
longer detects my display card right and figured out that discover's
"-t" option does not work correctly on my amd64 although very well in
the 32bit i386 chroot on the same machine.

Interestingly rebuilding the package under amd64 produces a working
binary! Also, when unmounting /sys and using /proc it does work, too.

This is the output of the non-working binary from the Debian package:

> app109# which discover
/sbin/discover

> app109# dpkg -l "*discover*" | grep ^.i
ii  discover       2.0.7-2.1      hardware identification system
ii  discover-data  2.2005.02.13-1 Data lists for Discover hardware detection
ii  libdiscover2   2.0.7-2.1      hardware identification library

> app109# discover -v -t display

This is the output of the selfcompiled discover binary. I added a
printf() command in sysdep/linux/pci.c

> app109# discover -v -t display

As I cannot produce a broken binary, I cannot give more information.
