Package: xorg Version: Version: 1:7.3+18 Severity: important Debian SPARC xorg crashes my Ultra10 on startup (service gdm) or when I try to start X manually. The system becomes unresponsive. This happens regardless of the driver chosen in xorg.conf. This was not the case with the former version in Debian 5.0 which used to work fine.
Probable reason and fix (taken from http://kristof.willen.be/node/689): The code in Xorg was trying to mimmick VGA routing by disabling I/O responses behind the Simba PCI controller. Unfortunately, doing this also happens to disable access to the IDE controller I/O registers, thus crashing the system. No console messages because the console has been put into framebuffer mode by the X server already. In the xorg log this is the error displayed before the crash : xf86MapPciMem: Could not mmap PCI memory Inappropiate ioctl for device Kind regards Christian Kornblum -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
