[XFree86] Re: SoundBlaster Live! 5.1 Value Detected as VGA Device:

[Andrew D.]

After reading your e-mail, Marc, I instantly rebooted from Win98 (where 
I'm reading this info) to Mandrake Linux's Failsafe. I logged in a root, 
edited my XF86Config-4 file and commented out the "PCIbus" line. I 
closed that down, and followed your instructions for replacing the 
libpcidata.a file with my libscanpci.a file. After that, I rebooted my 
machine. Upon starting Mandrake 10 normally, I was given the following 
error by my X-Server:

(EE) LoadModule: Module pcidata does not have a pcidataModuleData data 
object.

Attached is the new log file. Thanks so much for your input and your 
quick responses. If only Microsoft gave tech support this quickly.

It turns out there's a straightforward workaround for this problem.  As
root, do ...
        cd /usr/X11R6/lib/modules
        cp libpcidata.a libpcidata.backup
        cp libscanpci.a libpcidata.a
... and stop and restart the X server.  The "BusID" specification should
then be unnecessary (as would removing the Sound Blaster adapter).
