Bug#280384: XFree crashing on kernel 2.4.28

I think it's supremely ironic that the debug build doesn't have the bug. LOL. Well, I have to admit that this bug does occur on my Sun Blade 100 (with 2 almost identical ati mach 64 cards), but not on my Sun Ultra 5 (with only 1 ati mach 64 card that is slightly different than the one in the blade 100). The bug also doesn't occur on a Sun Ultra 5 at my friend's place, but iirc, it does occur on an Ultra 5 or Ultra 10 from someone else, so I'm a bit sceptical to say that U5's are not affected. The fact that the debug server doesn't show the bug could indicate that it's a timing issue, but to be honest, I am a terrible programmer and I wouldn't know how to start debugging this issue. I hope this could be useful for someone, and if he/she needs more information/testing, I'd happy volunteer. Admar
Bug#280384: XFree not starting any more

This looks like the same problem I have. I found out that a work around for me was to install xserver-xfree86-dbg and use that server. Admar
Bug#282401: xserver-xfree86: segfault at startup (when loading module pcidata?)
Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8 Severity: normal System is a Sun Blade 100 (ultra sparc IIe) with 2 mach64 pci cards (1 on board, 1 in pci slot). Linux kernels 2.6.x with x7 and current X server work fine on this machine (apart from the fact dat those kernels have a bug that prevents the second head to work). Kernels 2.6.8 and up don't have this bug, and therefor, both heads work. However, with those kernels, xserver-xfree86 won't work; the xserver crashes even before initializing the card(s). The logfile is up at http://people.spacelabs.nl/~admar/troep/XFree86.0.log The strange this is though, that X does work perfectly fine if I use xserver-xfree86-dbg (even dual head works). I hope this is enough information to fix the problem (or that it is at least enoough information for other people with a non working X to have a workaround). If you need more information, please let me know.
