I have a PCI Cirrus Logic 5434. I want to run it in linear mode, but I
don't know the Linear decode address for the PCI Card. The manual tells
how to select it for the VLB using jumpers, but there is no selection for
the PCI card. Could someone out there tell me what the decode address is
or possibly how I could figure it out?

If you installed Linux from a slackware installation it should have also
installed some readme files. You need to look at the cirrus readme file. I
cannot remember where I found it on my system but the file did tell me the
value to use for my VLB Orchid Kelvin 5434. You might also want to look at the
readme.pci if it exists or the PCI HOWTO document.

Here is the membase setting I use which might be a good one to try as I
believe it is situated at about 128Mb.

If you have XFree-3.1.1 there should be a program called scanpci.
With it you can get the linear decode address for the PCI Card.
Mine was around 30??MB (sorry but my PC is at home).

I had a Diamond Speedstar 64 Alpine on a computer, and had problems finding the
linear address. The answer was in the BIOS. The computer had Phoenix BIOS,
and I had to set the start of Linear Addresses in BIOS. This address was
not set from factory. After setting this variable to 300 (something), I
could use Linear addressing mode with the Speedstar.

Check out your bios for possible settings of Linear addressing space.
