r: xf86MapVidMem: failed to open /dev/mem (No such file or directory) When reporting a problem related to a server crash, please send the full server output, not just the last messages X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown). === The last lines are the same on both telnet and console so I assume that the full output is correct. The interesting part is the /dev/mem not being available, what are the major / minor numbers for this device to create it by hand?
