I'll file a proper bug report later, but thought I'd at least raise

alarm that X11 on the Alpha became unusable over the weekend after I

startup. Michael: I'm guessing you've seen this :-). Here's the
log...
Actually, I suspect I am seeing a different (but maybe related?)
problem. On my PWS600au the Squeeze Xserver locks up at 100% cpu in
the inb routine in the int10 module code when using some old Sis video
card, and kernel oops, IIRC, with some machine check, when using a
Radeon HD2400 video card. I had reported this to the kernel and linux-
alpha email lists since I thought the kernel oops was most relevant
there.
I never got around to submitting a bug to Debian though...
I have now installed the lastest Xorg from git master - after some
patches to the Sis video driver (to provide Alpha specific code for a
write memory break) and to export _alpha_inb and friends from the
lnx_axp.c file in the xserver, it fails on the PWS600au in exactly the
same way as the X server from Debian squeeze.
But the interesting thing is that the latest X server is working
correctly on my Compaq XP1000 with Radeon 9250 (or maybe it is a 9200,
I forget) video card!
I do have another PWS600au. I have meant to test on that one too but
haven't got around to it.
Cheerz
Michael.
