scanpci can't see my tntriva card.
Hi all,
i'm very happy to have found this linux-ralated forum.
This is my issue: i've just installed Linux/Slackware 8.0, linux kernel is 2.4.5.
When i run scanpci i get:
pci bus 0x0 cardnum 0x00 function 0x0000: vendor 0x8086 device 0x122d Intel 82437 Triton
pci bus 0x0 cardnum 0x04 function 0x0000: vendor 0x5333 device 0x8811S3 Trio32/64
pci bus 0x0 cardnum 0x07 function 0x0000: vendor 0x8086 device 0x122e Intel 82471 Triton
pci bus 0x0 cardnum 0x07 function 0x0001: vendor 0x8086 device 0x1230 Intel 82371 bus-master IDE controller
pci bus 0x0 cardnum 0x09 function 0x0000: vendor 0x1011 device 0x0014 Digital DC21041 10Mb/s Ethernet Plus
On PCI 0:4:0 i don't have a Trio32/64 at all.
My video card is a TNTRIVA pci. For this reason, XF86 can't use nv (nvidia chip) driver, but start in vesa mode, using frame buffer.
In this way i can't get the advantages of my video board.
Hope someone could give me a hand.
THX, B7

Do "lspci-vv" as root and post the details on the video card.

Going by the output of lspci you have an S3 video controller, does the motherboard have intergrated video? If it does then you'll have to turn it off in bios before you can use your TNT card.

Unfortunately, the motherboard haven't any video card included...it's a new K7S6A ... The chipset incorporated is a SiS745.
All the information of lspci seems wrong, i don't have any intel chip on the mainboard.....
THX again for support

Yes, there is something wrong there and I think it's VirtualPC, It looks like its emulating hardware. Have you thought of doing a proper install and trying linux the way it's ment to be run?
Those emulators are designed for running windows on linux, that way when windows BSOD's you only have to restart the emulation software instead of rebooting the entire PC.

Yes, probably the problem is in virtual PC... or could the hardware of my motherboard be too new and bad reconized ?

Yes that too, slackware 8.1 would be a better choice for that board, and you'd have to upgrade thg kernel. The SiS 745 chipset is way too new for the 2.4.5 kernel in slack 8.0, but it still should be reported as a SiS chip, not as an Intel, by lspci.

thx very much, for the moment my linux system is working, probably not in the best way, but will be enough to make pactice for c programming.
Probably in the future I will install linux in a second hard drive when will be possible.
In any case i've found the virtual PC the best solution. Yes, it's expensive, but everytime i need to do something on the M$ world, just a click and i'm back to the win2k sistem. As far seems the fastest solution
THX AGAIN B7
