I did a little investigation of my problem and saw this:

xorg-server-1.5.3-r6 has a library called libglx.so. This library uses 

	drmOpenOnce(NULL, "pci:0001:01:08.0", ...)

to get the graphics card.

lspci reports

	0001:01:08.0 VGA compatible controller:
	ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV250 If [Radeon 9000] (rev 01)

So the PCI Bus ID seems to be correct.

libdrm-2.4.5 has the function drmOpenOnce(). This function goes down to
drmOpen(NULL, "pci:0001:01:08.0") and
drmOpenByBusid("pci:0001:01:08.0").

Now drmGetBusid(fd) is called and returns "pci:0000:01:08.0". Which is
wrong, because it differs from the original PCI Bus ID. So my graphics
card will not be used with hardware accelerated OpenGL.

drmGetBusid() calls the kernel module drm via IOCTL
DRM_IOCTL_GET_UNIQUE. (see file drm_ioc32.c). So is it a bug in the
kernel? Whom can I report this?

Thanks for any suggestions
Johannes
