It's a very good question :) but not one to which I know the answer. dmesg, since 5.4-RELEASE through 5.5-STABLE reports: pci0: <display, VGA> at device 8.0 (no driver attached) I couldn't find a pciconf saved from those days, but on 4.5-RELEASE dmesg always reported it as: pci0: <Chips & Technologies 69000 SVGA controller> at 8.0 with no difference in functionality. Xorg recognises it fine either way, as does VESA (which now only reports itself on a verbose dmesg) > But, that said ...

I notice tonight that all of the 'none' devices reported there all seem also to be display adapters. On my Thinkpad T23 (not yet reporting) I see the pciconf 'none' devices are an Intel 82801CA/CAM SMBus Controller and a Lucent LT Winmodem (shrug?) > > Perhaps they'd be more useful summarised by OS, or at least prefaced > > with 'f' or 'o', 'n', 'd' or something else indicative?

Ah yes, and I see you're still working on things now. Good stuff. Ahem, could it be someone from (this time) Australia is gaming the system? We've gone up from 425 a little earlier to (just now) 555 FreeBSD systems, and while we're never sorry to be beating the Yanks, especially at their own game, I doubt that it's fair dinkum, mate :) Cheers, Ian
