The only work-around is to remove the XL. It won't work anyway, at least not under NetBSD/sparc64 as things currently stand.
There's no way for the ati driver to simply ignore adaptors it cannot mmap?
How can it, when the port FatalError's mmap() failures?
Ouch. Hmm, many ports seem to do that. On the other hand drivers seem to check wether xf86MapVidMem() returns NULL ( well, the ati driver does ) so - is there a good reason to FatalError() in whatever_MapVidMem() ? If not I'd just let it return NULL on sparc64 and see what happens.
FatalError'ing mmap() failures here normally indicate a problem with the server's OS interface, rather than one with the server itself. Think of these as reminders to developers that more work needs to be done.
So, yes, you should see what happens when mmap() failures return NULL.
