Description sdn 2001-10-05 22:40:00 UTC 
scanpci fails completely.
This prevents X from configuring.

How-To-Repeat: % scanpci
Fatal server error:
xf86EnableIO: Failed to open /dev/io for extended I/O

I have a feeling we have X working on some of these machines.

What does "ls -l /dev/io" show? If the file isn't there then
you could try "cd /dev ; sh MAKEDEV std". You would have to
be root to open /dev/io - your prompt would indicate that
you are not.

Hmmm - do you have the secure level turned up. See what:

	sysctl kern.securelevel

prints.

> Could it be related to the i810 video chip?

I don't think so - unless the error message which scanpci gives is
misleading.
