I have been neglectful in mentioning that this fix for 280384 fixes my
original problem also. Thanks to everybody for fixing it and for
sending me the files so I could post them to my web server.

Dear listmembers,
sorry for the delay. I'd really like to spend more time with the sparc issues
if I could ;-).
Replacing the XFree86 binary that comes with the regular distribution with the
freshly build one that has been supplied by you solves the problem with X on my
U60 / SMP / Creator 3d.

OK, the machine made all the X packages and I installed them with
no problems. It does look like Richard's patch works, in that,
according to the XFree86 log, the loader now correctly loads pcidata,
which goes on to scan the PCI bus as it's supposed to.
I think it should work with later 2.4

Damn! There are two similar #if defined lines. I made the patch against
the wrong one!

We have a minor problem. Richard's patch seems to refer to a

Ok, I think that I've found the problem. The XFree86 binary does its own
object loading and on sparc it is failing to set the PROT_EXEC bit when
mapping executable code. This is falling over a change in the kernel
which checks the executable bit and gives a Segmentation Fault.
Full rationale, expl
Dear listmembers,
I can confirm for my U60 that the XFree86-debug server comes up on 2.4.28. So I
seem to be consistent with what Admar said and what Ron has been saying. What
makes me wonder, though, is why does the binary loader work with 2.4.27 and
does not work with 2.4.28.
