I am kind of away, today is officially my last day at the university... One problem I see right now, I have no libgl1? Hrm. I guess the Mesa build crashed? No, right, installed mesa (from that build) and everything was fine. I have no PCI bus, I don't see PCI mentioned in the config file, is there a way to stop loading that? Bummer. This is probably an upstream bug. Is there such a thing as an m68k box with a PCI bus? Not sure, there might be, maybe some macs? There is supposed to be some new add-on hardware for Amigas which give you PCI slots, but I think none of the mainstream m68k machines have PCI. I moved away that module, guess what happens? X crashed, because it does not find that module... so it seems pci must be fixed for m68k. For the debian-68k people, I've put the debs on: http://people.debian.org/~cts/x4.0/ maybe somebody has more luck running these, maybe they are a starting point for further patches to X for somebody. (note: you will need some packages from woody/binary-all to get these installed, you will find out which. It should work on a potato box, thats what I used for compiling/testing). Christian

Re: the continuing adventures of XFree86 4.0.1
Good news everybody! I have some debs for m68k. The build failed, but this time to to a local configuration problem (sbuild timeout, dh_compress took more than 150 minutes...) I am trying to get them installed now, so that I can test a little. Will make them available tomorrow (no changelog, no upload...), maybe some more people dare testing them (I have no idea yet if it will be working at all on m68k).
