I covered this in the parent message. Primary devices were identified
as the Voodoo3, the Brooktree TV card, and the motherboard sound chip.
That's why I removed the Brooktree and tried again - no change. The
BIOS or motherboard have no way of disabling the integrated sound.
There is no motherboard video.
I'll try adding the BusID tomorrow - but if it is needed, why didn't the
XFree people or Mandrake add it? Remember the X test in the 9.0
installer works perfectly, so what did Mandrake do, but neglect to put
in the generated XConfig-4? And so there ought to be lots of people
with this problem...
