CVS commit: xsrc/xfree/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/bus



Module Name:    xsrc
Committed By:   macallan
Date:           Sat Mar 29 23:10:37 UTC 2008

Modified Files:
        xsrc/xfree/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/bus: Imakefile
            netbsdPci.c

Log Message:
look for PCI graphics devices through /dev/ttyE0 instead of /dev/pci0 on
sparc64 and PowerPC. This has the following benefits:
- X sees only the graphics chip so it won't try play operating system and
  mess with our BARs
- X sees the console graphics chip no matter if it's visible through /dev/pci0
  or not. Especially Macs and Suns are likely to have more than one PCI domain.
- the console driver can decide what the Xserver sees and what it doesn't.
Tested on ofppc by Frank Wille and on sparc64 by myself.
From Frank Wille with some trivial modifications by me.
