Please send the whole output (as root) of

thanks,

I'll be happy to follow-up on any suggestions as to what to test now...

Hello,

All of you guys reported a failure of the Xserver on your machine
because of PCI resource conflicts between the graphic and the network
boards. The upstream developers suspect that this is fixed nowadays
thanks to the PCI rework in the upcoming Xserver 1.5.

Xserver 1.5-rc5 (xserver-xorg-core 2:1.4.99.905-1) and
ati/radeon (1:6.9.0-2) r128/mach64 (6.8.0-2) are now available
in experimental for powerpc. Please give it a try.

Just add an "experimental" line to your sources.list and use aptitude


Brice

install -t experimental x11-common xserver- xorg<alltheoneyouhaveinstalled>

What exactly I have done is:


aptitude -t experimental install xserver-xorg-input-mouse
aptitude -t experimental install xserver-xorg-input-kbd
aptitude -t experimental install x11proto-xf86dri-dev
aptitude -t experimental install x11proto-dri2-dev

OK, I did that and now X won't start. FWIW, it chose to remove a bunch of packages, including xserver-xorg-input-mouse and xserver- xorg-input-kbd. I reinstalled them since the most obvious complaints in the X error messages seemed to indicate that it needed them. aptitude -t experimental install xserver-xorg-core x11-common xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-r128

r128. ati is only needed if you use Driver ati (which will load r128
automatically).

Note that you don't need vidoe-ati since your Device section uses Driver

aptitude -t experimental install x11proto-xf86dri-dev
aptitude -t experimental install x11proto-dri2-dev

These ones only matter when building stuff, not for using X.

OK.  I assume that this means they aren't doing any harm, either.

What did I do wrong?

I am not sure. Does it help if you remove "usefbdev" from the device
section of xorg.conf ?

I tried that.  Both commenting it out, and setting it to "false"
Neither helped.

Is there anything else in the way of log files or traces I can provide?
