Listmates, My Toshiba 205d laptop has always given the following error on boot that appears to either be a fglrx bug -- or looks like I'm trying to load a second vga driver after fglrx has loaded. The error doesn't effect performance of anything, but since this laptop will die with 11.0 on it, I might as well try and understand the issue a little more. The dmesg output is always the same: <snip> input: Video Bus as /devices/LNXSYSTM:00/device:00/PNP0A08:00/device:01/device:02/input/input7 [fglrx] Maximum main memory to use for locked dma buffers: 3679 MBytes.

The lspci output for the video card is: 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS690M [Radeon X1200 Series] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Toshiba America Info Systems Device ff00 Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 64, IRQ 18 Memory at f0000000 (64-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M] Memory at f8100000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K] I/O ports at 9000 [size=256] Memory at f8000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M] Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2 Capabilities: [80] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+ Queue=0/0 Enable- Kernel driver in use: fglrx_pci Kernel modules: fglrx Which according to the IRQ 18 dmesg output is the correct pci address for the card at 01:05.0. The bizarre part of the dmesg output is the line: "proc_dir_entry 'VGA' already registered" What the heck?? That maybe nothing, but I'm left thinking if 'VGA' is already registered, why in the heck is it trying to register it again?? I've looked at the error before, but since it never seemed to hurt anything, I never looked further into it. That coupled with the fact I don't really recognize what I'm looking at. So what says the brain trust? What does this error look like to any of the hardware gurus? Where is Stefan Dirsch when you need him.... I'm open to any suggestions or any tips of additional tests or output I can provide. Seems Peter isn't the only one with a rouge Tosh box ;P Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
