[BUG] Fatal() on Mandrake 6.1 when using the Voodoo Banshee

[win2kgamer]

PCem v17-dev commit e8e0cf4 fatals with "launch area write, command=cc800206" during KDE startup on Mandrake 6.1 when using a Voodoo Banshee

Test system:
System: Gigabyte 686BX
CPU: Pentium II/233
RAM: 64MB
Video: 3dfx Voodoo Banshee (reference) 16MB
Sound: Sound Blaster AWE32
HDD: 2GB IDE
FDD: 1.44MB 3.5"
CDROM: PCemCD 24x
Mouse: 2-button mouse (PS/2)


Note: To get this far, there needs to be a "Chipset Voodoo Banshee" line added to the Device section in /etc/X11/XF86Config since the XFree86 SVGA server seems to autodetect most of PCem's graphics cards as an ET4000.

EDIT: Issue also occurs on commit 97dd2aa

You can use my patch to fix banshee subsystem id, it works least for windows, no need to force driver to install or edit in registry to correct subsystem id.
Place patch in main pcem source directory and run patch -p1 -i voodoo_banshee_subsystem_id.patch and recompile.
For launch area write, command=cc800206 bug, SarahWalker need to fix

As of v17-final, the fatal()/crash when starting X11 on Mandrake 6.1 has been resolved, the SVGA detection is still broken but that's just a minor issue with a known workaround.

My patch no longer valid, since SarahWalker fixed Banshee subsystem ID.
Maybe SarahWalker fix it in next release.
