Re: where's tfm?
just updated my kernel to 2.4.18, and now lspci shows:
00:0b.0 Host bridge: Apple Computer Inc. Bandit PowerPC host bridge (rev 03)
00:10.0 Class ff00: Apple Computer Inc. Grand Central I/O (rev 02)
01:0b.0 Non-VGA unclassified device: Apple Computer Inc. Control Video
01:0d.0 Class ff00: Apple Computer Inc. PlanB Video-In (rev 01)
any ideas?
