(mcpcia_pci.c) > -Mel I know people have been running XF86 on DS20s, but I'm unsure as to what version. They have multiple PCI hoses, but they use a much newer pci chipset. The NetBSD and the FreeBSD pci implementations actually differ quite a bit. It is quite possible that one will work while the other doesn't on something like this. At any rate, its much more likely the problem lies in the bus-walking code in XF86 rather than in the per-platform chipset support code. If you should happen to try this with FreeBSD, you'll need to put the VGA controller on the lowest numbered (0th) PCI hose if you're running -stable. Good luck!
