Does adding:
Load"xaa"
into the "module" section of xorg.conf help?

I fear I may never know ...

As part of the demo, I donated the machine to one of the other users
in the group. I might be able to get him to try it. However I did get
X to run thanks to Phil's suggestion.

I added: Option "no_accel" to the newport driver section of xorg.conf
and it made the problem (and unfortunately xaa) go away.

Thanks for your help.

I've tried stable and testing.

I get the following error whenever I run "startx":
/usr/bin/X11/X: symbol lookup error:

iirc for the ati driver there was an option to disable xaa
("no_accel"), don't know if it helps in your case.

cheers, phil

Indy X.Org

2007-02-07 Thread Mike Martin

I just cleanly installed an R4600 SGI Indy with debian in order to do
a demo of Linux on old hardware. Unfortunately I can't get X to run!

I've tried stable and testing.

I get the following error whenever I run "startx":
/usr/bin/X11/X: symbol lookup error:
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/newport_drv.so: undefined symbol:
XAACreateInfoRec
XIO:  fatal IO error 131 (Connection reset by peer) on X server ":0.0"
 after 0 requests (0 known processed) with 0 events remaining.

Is this a known problem? Is there a work around? Does anyone have a
monolithic X.Org for an Indy with a Newport XL-24 that I could use
until I figure out what the problem is? Any version that runs is good
enough for now. I'm trying to build from source, but having never done
it, I'm not having much luck figuring out the process. I think I
succeeded in building it, but it came up with the same error. The
presentation is tonight (way too last minute...) and although I can
demo lots of stuff from the command line, it sure would be nice to
show that X really does work!

I can boot to X using the Gentoo X

Thanks for your help!
