I believe this bug is a duplicate of #280384, which was fixed yesterday with the release of 4.3.0.dfsg.1-9: xfree86 (4.3.0.dfsg.1-9) unstable; urgency=high [...] * Apply patch from Richard Mortimer to fix the XFree86 X server's ELF object loader to set the PROT_EXEC flag on mmap()ed modules regardless of machine architecture. (It was already trying to do this, but there are three preprocessor statements involved, and we were only patching one.) (Closes: #280384) [...] -- Fabio M.

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 x<7 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.
