Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.1.0-9
Severity: wishlist
I think the new dialog explaining how to enter a Bus ID is very good.
The only thing I think won't work is expecting users to be able to
convert hex to decimal. So if a default isn't being displayed, that's
a real issue.
Or, put another entry box for people to enter the ID in lspci (hex)
format, and then you can validate that and convert it to decimal for
the Config.
Also, please change the reference to lspci in the dialog to
/sbin/lspci so people that run it as non-root will succeed.
Here is a small perl script that works on my system to get the display
bus id in decimal from lspci:
#!/usr/bin/perl
`/sbin/lspci | grep Display | sed 's/ Display.*//'`;
# lspci gives something like 00:10.0
($bus,$slot,$func) = /^(\d*)\:(\d*)\.(\d*).*/ ;
$bus=hex $bus; $slot=hex $slot; $func=hex $func;
printf "PCI:%02d:%02d:%02d\n", $bus, $slot, $func;
Even if this fails to find a Display device, it gives
PCI:00:00:00, which at least tells the user what pattern needs to
appear. It doesn't find multiple display cards, only the first one.
