Bug#771387: siliconmotion graphic card driver segfault and unusable.

2014-11-28 Thread lumin
Package: xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion
Source: xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion (1:1.7.7-2)
Version: 1:1.7.7-2+b2
Severity: serious
Tags: moreinfo

Hi,

The xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion segfaults right away once I started
X, and then the X is totally unuseable on my machine (mipsel,
loongson-2f).

```
(==) Log file: /var/log/Xorg.0.log, Time: Sat Nov 29 11:07:18 2014
(==) Using config file: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
(==) Using system config directory /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d
(EE) 
(EE) Backtrace:
(EE) 0: X (xorg_backtrace+0x84) [0x77e2ede4]
(EE) 
(EE) Segmentation fault at address 0x3c4
(EE) 
Fatal server error:
(EE) Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting
(EE) 
(EE) 
```

I have read http://x.debian.net/howto/use-gdb.html and
http://x.debian.net/howto/report-bugs.html
but I feel hard to generate coredump/backtrace,
as I'm not familiar with gdb.

This issue also affects debian wheezy (even the save segfault addr).
And another useful information is,
someone fixed this problem and put that fixed version (1.7.6-1loongson)
onto a forum, it works indeed. I can send that fix privately.[1]

And then, what moreinfo should I exactly offer?
P.S. the /var/log/Xorg.0.log seems doesn't help, so not attached.

thanks:)

[1] I tried to apply that fix for jessie, but ABI's not happy.
