I've upgraded today to exactly the same versions (and 2.6.16-10), and it 
still works fine. I don't have a /etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy file, or 
/etc/X11/xserver directory, for that matter :-/. I do get the same 
warnings and errors though (except the SecurityPolicy thing), they do not 
seem to affect the functionality. It looks like bug 362246, please supply 
additional information to it.



Now, with a 2.6.15 kernel and the same `xorg.conf', the machine does _not_
hang but X spits out the same messages, except that the "error opening
security policy file" line is replaced with:

 (EE) /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libxaa.so is an unrecognized module type
 (EE) ATI: Failed to load module "xaa" (unknown module type, 6)
 (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.


Hm, this file loads fine for me:

(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libxaa.so
(II) Module xaa: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 7.0.0, module version = 1.2.0
ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 0.8

sha1sum of this file is:

7bfc397c6d7f0a174f46aede663c5338aacf6472  /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libxaa.so

In general, my situation is probably a bit simpler, I've installed new 
xorg from scratch, so I'm probably not hitting all the juicy upgrade 
bugs...

Using a 2.6.16 kernel and today's Xorg packages with the `xorg.conf' you
sent, all I get is this:

  Fatal server error:
  no screens found

(Then X exits with -1.)  The same occurs with a 2.6.14 kernel.

So there's something fishy going on here.  Are you saying so you can
start Xorg 7 without even seeing the "end of block range" messages?

Thanks,
Ludovic.

I got Bus errors with that version (I think with JavaScript, but not  
sure), so I went back to the mozilla-firefox from sarge (stable).




I did not mean the version 1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.1-4, but the version packed in  
the debian
package firefox_1.5.dfsg-4_sparc.deb. This version does not crash when  
loading the default
page nor when selecting Help->About from the menu. And the version info in  
the about dialog is:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux sparc64; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20060114  
Debian/1.5.dfsg-4 Firefox/1.5
I'm not sure what was the difference between this version and the  
following ones,
maybe the problem is in a script, in a config file or in a binary. I tried  
to debug,
but I was not successful. Someone should analyse changes in cvs from this  
version,

because the latest version in unstable is crashing as well.
