With a working pte_read, and VMALLOC_START set sanely, the next major
bug that Aurora users have noticed is that Xorg does not work on sparc32
hardware running 2.6, with one exception: Bob Breuer has been able to
get the cg14 to work.
My SS20 with a CG6 (TGX+) works fine in 2.4. When I attempt to run Xorg
in 2.6 (specifically, 2.6.11-rc2-bk3), the Xorg.0.log claims that it is
running, but the kernel has actually oopsed:
kernel BUG at arch/sparc/mm/srmmu.c:140!

This is being triggered with the BUG() in this function in
arch/sparc/mm/srmmu.c:
static unsigned long srmmu_pte_pfn(pte_t pte)
{
if (srmmu_device_memory(pte_val(pte))) {
/* XXX Anton obviously had something in mind when he did
this.
* But what?
*/
/* return (struct page *)~0; */
BUG();
}
return (pte_val(pte) & SRMMU_PTE_PMASK) >> (PAGE_SHIFT-4);
}
This is being BTFIXEDUP to pte_pfn.
Removing the if (srmmu_device_memory(pte_val(pte))) check stops the
oops, but it doesn't make X work. The screen goes blank, but the X
session never appears.
I've got a couple of other framebuffer SBUS cards that I plan on
testing, but the only success report I have is from Bob's cg14.
So, does anyone know whats happening here? Why would the cg14 work when
a cg6 does not? This isn't an Xorg config file error, as far as Xorg is
concerned, the X session is running, twm is in the ps tree, and an xterm
is open. The monitor is a stock Sun 15 inch, no special cabling.
Any and all help is appreciated.
