Description of Problem: Matrox Mellennium G450 video card was properly detected during installation; but running Xconfigurator post-install presents me with the "Choose a Card" screen. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Xconfigurator-4.9.43-1 XFree86-4.2.0-6.39 How Reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. install, card is detected as expected (though it only detects 16MB) 2. run Xconfigurator post install. 3. choose card. Additional Info: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Matrox Graphics, Inc. MGA G400 AGP (rev 82) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) Subsystem: Matrox Graphics, Inc. Millennium G450 Dual Head Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11 Memory at e2000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=32M] Memory at e1000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K] Memory at e0800000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=8M] Expansion ROM at e1fe0000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [f0] AGP version 2.0
It is not possible to detect RAM on these boards. Also, the G400 and G450 use the same PCI ID.
So it's prompted for the user to choose the card because there are two with the same ID?
No.. The G400 and G450 will both show up in the X log as being a G400. The PCI ID's and subid's of these cards are in the pcitable correctly and will detect properly. What is displayed by lspci and X, will be G400. This is because Matrox chose to not change the PCI id. Inside the mga driver however it distinguishes between the two using the subid/rev properly. New versions of XFree86 handle the purely cosmetic issue of displaying G450 properly by checking for the subid/rev. If you notice in the above lspci output, the first line shows G400, and the second line shows G450. This info, while confusing is correct. The problem I see being reported is that Xconfigurator is not detecting this card when ran standalone post-install. I've had at least 4 reports of this behaviour in the last few weeks from various people, and in all cases so far, upgrading to the latest hwdata and Xconfigurator packages has solved the problem. I believe it was just a case of beta to beta upgrade failure. Please test with the latest packages and if it works properly close for RAWHIDE. THanks.
right'o. will test later this afternoon. Changing to NEEDINFO to help me remember to follow up on this.
hwdata-0.8-3 Xconfigurator-4.10.1-10 everything works as expected. CLOSING -> RAWHIDE
