Subject: multi-function PCI device claiming.
Date: Mon, 20 Nov 2006 12:41:30 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061120174130.GA19636@redhat.com> (raw)
I had a user report a bug against the Fedora kernel where
his Matrox G400 wouldn't work with the matrox framebuffer
driver any more.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=195825
It turned out to be caused by the fact that the matrox_w1
one-wire driver had loaded first. Moving that driver
out of the way so that it didn't get loaded would allow
the framebuffer driver to load.
There are a number of similar cases like this which seem
to be coming out of the woodwork lately. I've also heard
as-yet unconfirmed rumours that agp-intel and one of the
watchdog drivers suffers the same "first to load wins" problem.
What's the correct way to fix this ?
Dave
