4) XFree strangeness
In my B/W Power Mac G3 there's room for 64 PCI interrupts, and an X
tool such as xosview reports about 48 of them. In my dual Pentium
133MHz Hewlett-Packard desktop from 1995 (when PCI 1.x was only just
starting to get integrated in high-end mainstream systems) there are
some 24 interrupts to be distributed. Intel-based x86-mainboards for
the desktop produced from 2002 and onward use more than the formerly
usual 16 interrupts as well.
Hm, if that is the case, i wonder why X doesn't start. If fails with
no devices found (using the ati driver)
Probably because it's given the wrong PCI interrupt.
How come? The kernel is still the same... Even though I am not familiar
with the ppc architecture, I don't think PCI stuff is in userland (hence
influenced by using sid instead of woody)
