The story I told earlier in this thread (i.e., the fact that I had to remove the SunPCi card to make X work) happened with the following packages: xserver-xorg 7.1.0-1 xserver-xorg-core 1.1.1-8 xserver-xorg-video-ati 6.6.2-2 And `Xorg -version' says: X Window System Version 7.1.1 Release Date: 12 May 2006 X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.1.1 Drew Person's message is older than my report, so it looks like it didn't make any difference. In any case, from what I understand, we'll no longer have "invalid I/O allocation" messages once the fix is applied (and I think we currently all see that message). With `xserver-xorg' 7.1.0-3 and `xserver-xorg-core' 1.1.1-9, I still get both the "invalid I/O allocation" and "ioctl32..." messages. I have not tried plugging the SunPCi back in but the fact that these messages did not vanish is not confidence-inspiring. ;-) Thanks, Ludovic. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

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?

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.

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. At the momento I'm working with XFree until I'm sure that xorg works ok (which doesn't seem to be the case). Here's my output from lspci: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Sun Microsystems Computer Corp.
