Yes, it is listed in both the BIOS and /proc/pci lists.
Have you tried resetting the ESCD data from the pnp menu in the bios?
The only other options are a Bios upgrade or vga firmware upgrade by the
sounds of it.
Umm.. Does your bios have an operating system setting?
My bios has a setting that allows me to select win95/win98/other.
If I select other, like I would assume I should, it does strange things
with the pci bus setup, and I can't get at my lucent winmodem correctly.
If I set it to win98, all works well..
