I noticed in /usr/X11R6/bin a program called scanpci which apparently scans the pci bus looking for devices. The source is deep into the XF86 source tree, /usr/src/X11R6/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/etc/scanpci.c and apparently compiles easily. I find it useful, and although it has some funny imprecisions (it detects the SAA 7116 by Philips as an "Intel SAA7116") I believe it is a nice tool for scanning system configurations. How about contacting the author Robin Cutshaw (robin@xfree86.org) to see if it can be included in /sbin ? The source (which I will be glad to post if needed, it's about 30KB) have a berkeley-like copyright, so that should not be much of a problem. And, one thing I would like to know, is if there exist any program to reconfigure a peripheral on the PCI bus. I believe I have a broken BIOS on one of our motherboards which incorrectly assigns the same interrupt to two boards. I'd like to override this somehow. And I would also like to avoid using INT10 on the PCI bus, as many ISA board often use this interrupt line and they cannot be configured on INT11, 12 or 13 Thanks Luigi ==================================================================== Luigi Rizzo Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ ====================================================================
