Great, thanks, the PCI scan is correct now. So this bug is somehow related to #422077 with different symptoms. The sysfs-based PCI code is broken. Umounting /sys tells the server to revert to /proc instead of /sys. I am discussing this problem in other emails and we might apply a fix very soon. In the meantime, if you want to debug this a little bit more, you could rebuild xorg-server 1.3 after applying the following patch. It fixed Jim's problem on Sparc in #422077 and somebody told me that it helps on powerpc too. Obviously, you should NOT umount /sys before testing this patch :) Brice
