PCI number?


I need to now what number I would fill in for ex: BusID "PCI:1:0:0" , on configuration of X. I have an nvidia PCI card, and an onboard agp that I'm ignoring. If only I'd have kept my /etc/X11/XF86Config from my mandrake install before I installed gentoo. Isn't thier some command that would give me this info?

Try:

cat /proc/pci | less

Then look for it.

If you have a knoppix CD, you can copy the config from that.

Thanks, I remembered the command "lspci" which gave me the desired info, PCI:0:9:0. But it didn't fix X as I expected. I might have to do something like download Knoppix, cause I've always had the worst luck with configuring X, but I guess I could try a bit more before I go that route.
