I tried out Xorg 7.1 with the 2.6.18-1 kernel package recently and noticed that nothing had changed. However, I finally decided to remove that SunPCi board that sitted in my U5 (and was useless anyway, due to the lack of free drivers) and noticed that doing so made Xorg start and work flawlessly! Is the SunPCI board the PCI Bridge? I have on of those in my U5 and last time I tried Xorg 7 it corrupted my disk, leaving me no other option but to reinstall. I don't clearly understand what you mean. In any case, the output of `lspci' here is the same as yours (once the SunPCi board has been removed), except for the SCSI controller which I don't have (see below). In the meantime, I found bug #384450 [0] which addresses this very issue: The bug is that the Xorg PCI drivers fail to properly decode the I/O port ranges for any PCI cards (not just video cards) having I/O ports that have start or end+1 addresses that aren't 16-byte aligned. [...] Practically-speaking, the result is that adding unrelated, otherwise perfectly Linux-compatible hardware can make accelerated X completely non-functional. The proposed patch should have been part of Xorg 7.1 but that doesn't seem to be the case. If no Xorg release occurs by the time Etch is released, then perhaps it should be applied to the Debian package? Thanks, Ludovic.

Hi Ludovic, Thanks a *lot* for doing all the research.

Last message from Drew Parsons in the bug trail indicates that the patch has been included in the latest xorg packages in unstable. Can you somehow confirm that it really fixed the problems that you experienced earlier?
