Bug#622606: xserver-xorg-video-r128: [regression] [powerpc] X dies with SIGBUS if I tell it UseFBDev false
Rogério and James, Would you be willing to test this patch: http://alioth.debian.org/~tormod-guest/0001-Do-not-use-VBE-on-powerpc-in-R128ProbeDDC.patch It should avoid the SIGBUS error when running without an xorg.conf or with -configure. It does not change much more, but my hope is that X will start and fall back to some low screen resolution instead of simply crashing. Thanks in advance, Tormod -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

I've got a similar machine that I just resurrected to test for endian-ness issues in a project I'm working on. I'm using the xorg.conf that was recommened to me a couple of weeks ago: http://mac.linux.be/content/xorgconf-ibook-g3-500-dual-usb-0 Changing UseFBDev to false with that configuration does not cause a problem, though I think (I've not done any detailed comparison) that it is a little slower (maybe 5%). As for needing an xorg.conf -- I think that the problem is that the screen does not send valid EDID information (presumably Apple were cutting corners and built OSX to know the screen capability from the machine's identity). IMHO -- Xorg needs to have a manual fallback that asks for information if there is neither an xorg.conf nor valid EDID and then creates an xorg.conf. -- ++---+-+ | James Tappin | School of Physics Astronomy | O__| | s...@star.sr.bham.ac.uk | University of Birmingham | -- \/` | | Ph: 0121-414-6462.
