One other scenario where you need the BusID directive is when you have a card that you happen to know is compatible with your version of X, but X does not recognize the PCI id. (I have such a card here). In this case you have to tell X where to find the card (BusID) and the lie about the card type (ChipID). To the OP: the address directive needs to look like BusID "PCI:01:00:0" Just turn the dot in the lspci output into a colon. -- Nathan Norman - Incanus Networking mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Good judgement comes from experience.
