I have a Debian/Woody install on an SGI Indy with the Newport XL-24 gfx card. I had a working XFree86 until I upgraded to 4.2.0. Now it can not find the necessary modules. Attached below is the error log.
The packages were updated using dselect from http://people.debian.org/~branden/sid/mips/. The ModulePath directory "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules" given does not exist ... hmmmm.... In a possibly related problem: xfs no longer starts either... "error while loading shared libraries: libXfont.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory already running." I have checked Google without success. There are plenty of references to similar problems - but no solution that worked for me.
