Ok, i have done this. I have followed the recomendations of the hardware
guy, and did the following :

  device 0, function 0 : read access to bytes 0-15, read returns 0 on
  regs > 15. Write access fails silently.

  device 0, function 1-7 : both read and writes fail with
  PCIBIOS_DEVICE_NOT_FOUND.

Additionnally, i have nullified the ressources with :
	dev->resource[i].flags = 0;
	dev->resource[i].start = 0;
	dev->resource[i].end = 0;
from the pcibios_fixup (not the right place, but i don't know where it
should be done instead).

This allows me to see the host bridge on both buses, and radeonfb works
fine :

$ lspci
00:00.0 Host bridge: Galileo Technology Ltd.: Unknown device 6460 (rev 03)
00:01.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): VIA Technologies, Inc. IEEE 1394 Host Controller (rev 46)
00:05.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c810 (rev 23)
00:0c.0 ISA bridge: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8231 [PCI-to-ISA Bridge] (rev 10)
00:0c.1 IDE interface: VIA Technologies, Inc.  VT82C586A/B/VT82C686/A/B/VT8233/A/C/VT8235 PIPC Bus Master IDE (rev 06)
00:0c.2 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. USB (rev 1e)
00:0c.3 USB Controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. USB (rev 1e)
00:0c.4 Non-VGA unclassified device: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT8235 ACPI (rev 10)
00:0c.5 Multimedia audio controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT82C686 AC97 Audio Controller (rev 40)
00:0c.6 Communication controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. Intel 537 [AC97 Modem] (rev 20)
00:0d.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102 [Rhine-II] (rev 51)
10:00.0 Host bridge: Galileo Technology Ltd.: Unknown device 6460 (rev 03)
10:08.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 5964 (rev 01)

But :

$ hexdump /proc/bus/pci/10/00.0
0000000 ab11 6064 0700 b022 0300 0006 2000 0000
0000010 20df 85cf 20df 85cf 20df 85cf 20df 85cf
*
0000040

Why in hell do i have 0x20df85cf on all four bars of the config space
addresses 0x10 to 0x1f ?

Finally, X works, altough DRI freezes after a second or two with my
radeon 9200SE, while it works for a Radeon 7500, but this is probably a
DRI issue.

What makes me wonder, is that X needs around 20 seconds to launch, which
could not be something normal. It usually takes 5-8 seconds only.
Something strange is going on.

Thanks for your help.

Friendly,

Sven Luther
