Easy one

If I run:

Code:

lspci -v

Most of my hardware reports a line at the end something like:

Code:

Kernel driver in use: fglrx

In this case, meaning I have an ATI driver installed.

If the kernel driver in use statement doesn't come up, is that necessarily an issue?

It doesn't for my PCI Bridge and my ISA Bridge. If that's by design, okay. If not, then I'll go off and dig around in my custom kernel.

Any thoughts?

Mark.

I have a custom-compiled kernel that matches my hardware exactly and has everything possible as modules. It doesn't have those lines either in the PCI bridge and ISA bridge, so I guess it's the normal situation.

Hi rg3,

I guess you're right. Thanks for your reply.
