You can capture this output to file with a command like: lspci > lspci_ouput.txt and then put that file on floppy/usb-jump-drive/etc, and then send it instead of posting a digimage; the advantages are that it's easier for folks on slow dial-up to see the output and that the output gets archived for future use. Still, it's a creative way of letting us see the output. 00:08:0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. ..

You need to convert the lspci format into hex, so it'd be: PCI:0:b:0 _not_ PCI:0:11:0 This is why you're getting 17 as the bus id, and why the card is not being found there. > > http://webpages.charter.net/scarletdown/Misc/Screen-1.JPG > > > Judging by the error message, it looks like the system pretty much > ignored the info I plugged in (specifically the Bus ID for the video > card.)#160; And why did it try to use the onboard video as well, when > I didn't set anything for that anyway? Without seeing /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 it's hard to say, but I suspect that the system included that card in the XF86Config-4 via autodetection. -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
