tags 345914 +patch thanks Hi, I've been hit by the same problem in all xorg servers above 6.8.2, and after searching around online, I've found the upstream bug report, which contains the solution:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5443 Basically, it's a call to ValidatePCI() that needs to be commented out. I've tested this fix myself: apt-get source xorg-xserver-core and all the build dependencies, then edit xf86Bus.c and comment out the ValidatePCI() call, then dpkg-buildpackage and install the patched package. It finally works on my Intel 855GM. I've attached the patch, for people who use the i810 driver and is running into the same problem (it was very annoying for me). Also, I've uploaded the (UNOFFICIAL!) fixed package here (i386 only, sorry), for those who badly need to get their Intel chips working: http://eusebeia.dyndns.org/~hsteoh/debian/xserver-xorg-core_1.0.2-7_i386.deb CAVEAT: this patch is probably too general; it really should be applied only if the i810 module is being used (and maybe in a few other cases---see the bug report for details). So, you should only install the above package if you are using the i810 module. I have no guarantees what it will do if you are using another chipset! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
