   Natually, when I enter this command, I get:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon 
RV100 QY [Radeon 7000/VE]

So, I guess it's the same:  PCI:1:00.0

   Bus  1, device   0, function  0:
     VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon RV100 
QY [Radeon 7000/VE] (rev 0).
       IRQ 11.
       Master Capable.  Latency=64.  Min Gnt=8.
       Prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xe8000000 [0xefffffff].
       I/O at 0xec00 [0xecff].
       Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xfcff0000 [0xfcffffff].

   Thanks, Godwin.  I'll check this out when I'm a little more 
awake.
