[XFree86] XFree86: PCI device limited to 64 for xf86scanpci

Title: XFree86: PCI device limited to 64 for xf86scanpci






Hello,


I am currently working on a platform that has 75 PCI devices with the last one being the video controller. The latest releases of XFree limits the number of PCI devices scanned by xf86scanpci to 64 (MAX_PCI_DEVICES in xfree/os-support/bus/Pci.h). I have increased this to 128 to work on my platform but not being familiar with this code I am unsure what potential side effects might result. 

I would appreciate any information on this issue and perhaps contact with the maintainer (dawes I believe).


Regards,

Dale Busacker

I don't see any side-effects, potential or otherwise.  I'll commit a change to
double the limit.  Thanks.

Marc.
