So I took a ELSA Gloria-8 card from a DS20e and put it into this DS10.
The 'show bios' at the SRM prompt now shows this card, but I still do
not get a PCI mem range on bootup, I still get both these messages:
pci0: <display, VGA> at device 17.0 (no driver attached)
and in XFree86.0.log
(--) PCI:*(0:17:0) Texas Instruments Permedia 2 rev 1, Mem @ 0x02080000/17,
0x01000000/23, 0x01800000/23, BIOS @ 0x020b0000/16
(WW) ****INVALID MEM ALLOCATION**** b: 0x2080000 e: 0x209ffff correcting^G
