Re: Bug#262183: xserver-xfree86: [s3] can't find PCI card on Alpha [regression from 4.2.1]

[Jim Crilly]

This is just a guess, but I believe the ignore message is from the 
hotplug scripts and shouldn't break X. If you look in 
/etc/default/hotplug you'll see an entry like

IGNORE_PCI_CLASS_DISPLAY=true
which just tells hotplug not to load any DRI kernel modules for pci 
display devices. So as long as X is configured properly 2D should work 
fine, but 3D most likely won't.

BTW, with the 2.4.27 kernel I tested XFree86 (as a root of course)
but unfortunately it failed with the same messages as 2.2.25 kernel.
Do any Alpha hackers have any clue what's going on here?  Please?
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I've succedded to boot with 2.6.8 kernel but X failed
to start with the kernel.
This might be irrelevant with the problem but I noticed
that kernel 2.6.8 showed the following message at boot time;
     ignoring pci display device on 00:09.0
