Hello Rudolf,

Thanks for taking time to test this patch. I assume you tested with
a family 0Fh processor. The mistake I made was testing only with
family 10h, which is how this problem slipped through. Here are the
bit definitions:

F2_MULTI_FUNC_ENABLE     8
GFX_DEBUG_BAR_ENABLE     9
GFX_DEBUG_DECODE_ENABLE 10

The original code was incorrect to set bit 8 because the reference BIOS
does not set it. But that may be insignificant. I believe the real
problem is this. The following sequence is needed needed to reliably
enable the gfx debug bar (bar 6 of bus 1, device 5, function 0):

1) Set bit 9 so that the bar is writable and can be programmed.
2) Allow the resource allocation code assign a range to the debug bar.
3) Set bit 10 to let the debug start decoding its range.

The debug bar is a back door into the pci config space of the RS780.
If it is not setup and working, the ATI graphics driver will not work.

I will re-sumbit the patch with this change. I still have to port some
ACPI changes from mahogany_fam10 to mahogany before I can test Win7
the family 0Fh processor.

Thanks,
Scott
