Exclamation Trouble With my Video Cards.


Where to start where to start.

I installed Rh 7.2 on my old Dell Optiplex GX1p. now here is my problem.

the dell comes with a Built in Video card (Rage pro 8meg agp) that card works fine with Xwin. However i have a Xpert 128 PCI 16meg card in the box.

I turned off the 8meg card in the bios (actually it does it automaticly)

But Xfree still is detecting the card at PCI adress 1:0:0 (i think)
and the Xpert card is at 2:9:0

I manualy edited the XF86Config-4 and added the following line after it listed the r128 driver.

BusID "PCI:2:9:0"

when its loading it says Primary device 2:09:0
then it says somthing about cannot find device at 1:0:0

what can i do to force it to use the Xpert Card at 2:09:0??????

well that should be all you need to do, but are you totally sure sure that that is where the card is? i've only seen pci busses on 00:xx.x, is it listed in lspci?
