And the PCI stuff is relatively easy, you just tell the kernel what you are looking for and it does everything for you. If you need an example for this, have a look at mga_vid ( http://attila.kinali.ch/mga/ ), there mga_vid_find_card() searches for the cards and cards_init() initializes the data structures.
