Ugh. I just found out WHY my BIOS didn't do that. Whoever built my
computer disabled all the PCI slots from the BIOS, except the
original video card slot. I re-enabled them, Linux now picks up the
address just fine.

I still have the problem with my /proc/pci being corrupted after starting
XFree86. Do you (or anybody else) know if the SVGA server messes with the
PCI settings? Or is that not possible with the 2.0.x series PCI
interface?

Thanks.
