That's not necessarily fatal, as I understand it.

Thanks.  I also need the server's log file as described in
XF86Config(7).

Hi!

I've just installled X 4.2.x on my dual athlon. THis machine has got two
video cards:

However, X cannor start because of two reasons:

1. 'Load "i2c"' is missing after configuration through 'dpkg-reconfigure
xserver-xfree86', but some symbol of libi2c.a is needed by the radeon
driver.
2. The xserver segfaults  right at start. Here's the gdb backtrace:

Please note that XFree86 has feature frozen the code base for the 4.3.0
release, so i suppose your code would be accepted only after 4.3.0 is
released, i think. People may well test it earlier though.

Yes, the common code is part of all the code. :)


OK. (I don't consider my question that stupid :) as common code could 
reside in other - common - modules as well)


I assume as regards 4.3, you mean the inclusion of Mesa4, right? Well, 
no one of the DRI folks seems to care about the SiS driver, so this is 
hopeless anyway.


It's not the job of the DRI folks to maintain a driver for hardware they
don't have.


That's exactly what I have been doing for a year now. Implementing 
support for hardware I don't have (SiS 315, 550, 650, 740, etc)



I don't know of any DRI developers having any SiS hardware, and I think
this is even harder to do for 3D than it is for 2D.


No offence, it probably is. I didn't actually exspect the DRI folks to 
develope a new driver for yet unsupported chipsets. I just think that 
porting the existing SiS driver (with support for the 300 series) to 
Mesa4 API can't be impossible, even without the hardware. And dropping 
an API without some sort of compatibility layer is not an attitude I 
especially appreciate.


BTW: In the meantime, I have received a number of success reports for 
SiS-DRI with 4.2.1. These people even used a sis_dri.so binary which was 
compiled with Debian's source... 8:O

Thanks for the info. I tought it was the other way around X.org -> Xfree86
from one of the previous message, but it will cost me nothing to contact

Well that is the same idea I got also from other people. If the
implementation will be the same, Debian will be able to lead the testing
phase, but of course let's take a look to what will come out from Xfree86
first.

Thanks for the info. I tought it was the other way around X.org -> Xfree86
