A later patch removed architecture restrictions entirely. In Debian, now, the XFree86 ELF loader uses mprotect(PROT_EXEC) on all Linux and OpenBSD systems. > Unfortunately, it doesn't help on my Athlon 64 w/ a Radeon AIW vid card. > This is with a 32bit 2.6.10-rc2-mm4 kernel, compiled with highmem64g (to > enable third-level pagetable support).
