Options for that I proposed upstream: The correct thing to do would be port the intel740, intel810 and sis code away from x86 I/O ports to architecture-neutral Linux interfaces for device access. If the hardware supported by the intel740, intel810 and sis drivers are not on discrete GPUs that can be plugged into a PCI/PCIe slot on any CPU architecture with PCI support, then porting away from x86 I/O ports would not be useful so a workaround would be reasonable. Since older versions of glibc still have the header, other arches still have the header and other libcs like musl still have the header on the ARM ports, I think the best available workaround would be to check if <sys/io.h> is available and only build the intel740, intel810 and sis drivers when the header is available. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
