Package: xserver-xorg-video-glint Version: 1:1.1.1-3 Architecture: SPARC (maybe also PPC, but not verified)
System configuration: Sun Ultra60 with Raptor GFX graphic card (Permedia2v chipset) running etch with a 2.6.20 kernel. The problem is also present in older "testing" version, starting from Xorg 7.0. Problem: The Xserver hangs or crashes when loading the driver. As from the logfile, the card is wrongly detected, e.g. 4MB video ram instead of 8MB. Reason: The driver correctly writes to the big-endian registers of the card, but the MMIO_xxxx functions do a byte-swap by default on this architecture, ending up in a wrong byte-order. For reference, see "compiler.h" from the "xorg-server" source. Solution: Define "SPARC_MMIO_IS_BE" for compiling the glint driver. E.g., by: # CFLAGS="-O2 -DSPARC_MMIO_IS_BE" ./configure (maybe on PPC_MMIO_IS_BE has to be defined on PPC architecture) I suggest setting these defines in the source code in "config.h". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
