Description Hervé Riboulot 2007-10-08 17:27:07 UTC
Description of problem:

x86-64 Core(tm)2 Quad CPU@ 2.40GHz
graphic card: nVidia GeForce 8500 GT
kernel: 2.6.23-0.214rc8 and related livna drivers (kmod-nvidia,
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia ...including xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs-32bit)

controller is not properly identified. Lspci mentions 'unknown device' whereas
lspci, under Ubuntu 7.10, provides the following outcomes: 01:00.0 VGA
compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce [h]8500[/h] GT (rev a1)

P'P is disabled an IRQ are active for Vga.

xorg.log shows that the graphci card is not properly identified: 
(--) PCI:*(1:0:0) unknown vendor (0x0001) unknown chipset (0x0421) rev 161, Mem
@ 0xfa000000/24, 0xd0000000/28, 0xf8000000/25, I/O @ 0xdf00/7

Note 1: the graphic card is correctly supported by Ubuntu 7.10 but not by
OpenSuse 10.3.

Lshw (under Ubuntu) indicates:

VGA compatible controller
          product: GeForce [h]8500[/h] GT
          vendor: nVidia Corporation
          physical id: 0
          bus info: pci@0000:01:00.0
          version: a1
          width: 64 bits
          clock: 33MHz
          capabilities: pm msi pciexpress vga bus_master cap_list
          configuration: latency=0

Note 2: the graphic card was correctly supported at the very beginning of Fedora
7's course (2.21.X kernels) on base of 'nv' driver.

Note 3: extract of /etc/X11/xorg.conf for Ubuntu is following:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "nVidia Corporation NVIDIA Default Card"
        Driver          "nv"
        BusID           "PCI:1:0:0"
