These are the cases of matching the vendor and PCIC_BRIDGE || PCIS_BRIDGE_HOST with AGP capabilities. My reasoning is that, while we sometimes get lucky, most of the times it seems like the wrong type of AGP driver attaches, and people get unexplained hangs when doing "startx." One example would be myself with a new AMD64 system, where agp_via attached when agp_amd64 looks like what was necessary. I know we've had examples of this before with agp_amd, agp_via, and agp_intel in the past. Any opposition? I think most of our drivers have the PCI IDs they currently support anyway (I might check linux before making the change), so I don't think this would have much impact on current users. -- Eric Anholt eta@lclark.edu http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ anholt@FreeBSD.org
