U30, Xorg and Voodoo Banshee
Hi,
I've just pulled out a Creative Voodoo Banshee from an old pc and I'm
trying to make it work with my Ultra 30 (Etch).
I've enabled fb, DRM and tdfx support as modules in kernel configuration
(2.6.14.2) and this is what I get from `lspci -v`:

As you can see the Banshee has been detected and it's on PCI:0:5:0 .
Now, what is strange is that module
/lib/modules/2.6.14.2/kernel/drivers/video/tdfxfb.ko
doesn't get loaded at boot so no /dev/fb1 is present, but just only
/dev/fb0 (Elite 3D). I've also compiled it as part of the kernel but it
seems that Linux can't detect the Banshee and I see a blank screen till
X starts up using the Elite 3D.
I can ignore fb problem because I'd like to use the Elite 3D as primary
console and then both two graphic cards in Xorg. But here comes another
problem: it seems that Xorg doesn't scan PCI bus 0001:00 but only
0000:80 (= 128:0:0), and so it can't detect the Banshee.
This is what I get with `Xorg -scanpci`:

Elite 3D perfectly works with microcode rev.3.11, but no DRI as you know.
So I'd like to get Banshee work since it can work at 1600x1200 and
DRI is supported.
Thank you for your help
