    I am currently running 2.6.0-mm2, and have experienced some strange
    behavior from XFree86. Basically, I had to install the ATI fglrx
    driver to get decent performance in Neverwinter Nights (a Christmas
    gift, w00t). My card is a Radeon 9000 Pro, and I am running X4.3 from
    experimental.

    The driver (version 3.7.0, released on 12-29-2003) builds fine against
    the 2.6 kernel, but when X starts I receive this error:

    (WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:2:0:1) found

    The strange part is that under 2.6.0, this error is fatal and causes
    the X server to fail to start. Under 2.4.23, the error message
    appears in the XFree68.log, but it is not fatal. I have Googled
    around for quite some time now and cannot find this specific problem
    mentioned anywhere. There is much discussion about the error message,
    but not this situation where it works in 2.4 and not in 2.6.

    Any ideas?

    -Roberto
