I have a box which has two video cards, an on-board 810 and a PCI nVidia RIVA TNT2: [root@dartagnan root]# lspci 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corp. 82810 GMCH [Graphics Memory Controller Hub] (rev 03) 00:01.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corp. 82810 CGC [Chipset Graphics Controller] (rev 03) 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82801AA PCI Bridge (rev 02) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corp. 82801AA ISA Bridge (LPC) (rev 02) 00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corp. 82801AA IDE (rev 02) 00:1f.2 USB Controller: Intel Corp. 82801AA USB (rev 02) 00:1f.5 Multimedia audio controller: Intel Corp. 82801AA AC'97 Audio (rev 02) 01:0d.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation RIVA TNT2 Model 64 (rev 15) 01:0e.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado] (rev 78) [root@dartagnan root]# I'm only using the nVidia card. redhat-config-xfree86 fails totally in generating a config for this system. I could only get an X setup by running XFree86 -configure, copying the output to /etc/X11/XF86Config, and using that as a starting point for redhat-config-xfree86
Also related to bug 58532.
Is the i810 card disabled in the bios?
The BIOS doesn't support enabling or disabling on-board video (it's a rather sucky Phoenix BIOS)
Systems whose bioses don't allow you to properly disable the onboard video seems to be an increasingly common problem.
Can you test with redhat-config-xfree-0.7.0-4 in Rawhide? There have been lots of changes to the code. I believe that the rhpl libraries now handle multiple cards better. On my wife's Dell, which has an on-board i845 graphics card (with no monitor) and a PCI Radeon 7500 (which has the monitor attached to it), the program no longer crashes but it identifies the on-board card instead of the Radeon. I suspect that this is because kudzu scans the system in PCI bus order and it is finding the on-board card first, so that's what is getting returned. I'm willing to bet that on your machine, the GUI will show the i810 card and not the nVidia. At least the program doesn't crash anymore. I think that once the GUI is up, you should be able to go to the Advanced tab and click "Configure" in the videocard section. This should allow you to select the nVidia card in the video card dialog. Detecting which card is correct is a much more difficult problem. We may not get that level of detection done with the next release.
Chris: ping?
