Package: libpciaccess,linux-2.6 Severity: important the pci_device_map_range() function from libpciaccess which is used by the X drivers to map pci BARs is implemented on linux using sysfs resourceN files, which the kernel only creates on architectures where HAVE_PCI_MMAP is defined. This is not the case for alpha, parisc, mips and m68k, as far as I can tell. See pci_create_resource_files() in linux/drivers/pci/pci-sysfs.c, and the respective include/asm-*/pci.h headers.
This means that future versions of X (starting with xorg-server 1.5) are not going to work on these architectures unless this is fixed. We need to either get the kernel fixed, or fall back to mmaping /dev/mem in libpciaccess. Cheers, Julien -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
