Please let me know if I can provide any additional information. Can you please install xserver-xfree86-dbg, attach to the server when it's spewing this stuff, and provide a backtrace? That won't help. The debuggable XFree86 X server in xserver-xfree86-dbg is also monolithic, and does not use the module loader. The good news is that this means that xserver-xfree86-dbg will probably just plain work. -- G.

Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.2.1-5 Severity: normal It seems like the xserver in this new version is impossible to start. My guess is that this is a platform specific bug to the alpha port. An identical configuration file and a few other tried worked with 4.2.1-3 (4.2.1-4 failed compilation according to http://buildd.debian.org/). To my eyes the error seems to be with loadable modules. The following two lines are repeated several thousand times in XFree86.0.log.
