Thanks Chris, these are good news. And you are right, at the moment I've just installed SX. I just thought, the output will show possible media types, even if there's no corresponding sfp plugged in. But I've ask the distributor to put a LX into the lab device, just to be sure.
Concerning my chipset problem, I'm compiling current at the moment, because the msi-x feature sounds very promising in this case.

Perhaps you have an SX SFP installed at the moment?
