Let me continue this hijacked thread for one or 2 more reiterations 
please.

I was trying to help a friend make an ATI All-in-Wonder work for tv 
viewing tonight, and that caused us to compare a few notes.  For 
instance:

[root at coyote video]# lspci -v
[...]
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 
9200 SE] (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
        Subsystem: VISIONTEK: Unknown device 7c13  <----???
        Flags: bus master, 66Mhz, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 5
        Memory at c8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable)
        I/O ports at a000 [size=256]
        Memory at da000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
        Capabilities: [58] AGP version 3.0
        Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2

02:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc RV280 [Radeon 9200 
SE] (Secondary) (rev 01)
        Subsystem: VISIONTEK: Unknown device 7c12  <---???
        Flags: 66Mhz, medium devsel
        Memory at d0000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [disabled]
        Memory at da010000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [disabled] 
[size=64K]
        Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
-----------------------
I _think_ the secondary is supposed to be an NTSC output of some kind, 
but I'm not sure the back panel is populated with the right plugs for 
that.

Could the lack of properly 'identifying the primary device' make the 
driver pick the slow but safe way of doing things?

And is this then a new variation of the r200 chipset?

If this identifies the problem, is there a chance of a patch 
eventually?
