Video corruption with asus a8n-sli and gforce 6600 gt
I have just installed the unofficial amd64 port of sarge on my new computer
mounted with a motherboard <asus a8n-sli deluxe> and a <club 3d gforce 6600
gt>, and after compiling de kernel and installing the nvidia module i got the
tty consoles corrupted, and the X with no font and no icons, confused i watch
the XFree86.log and only found this rare thing:
[45] -1 0 0x0000e400 - 0x0000e41f (0x20) IX[B]
[46] -1 0 0x00009000 - 0x000090ff (0x100) IX[B]

(EE) sparse io range (base: 0x2a95a86016 mask: 0x85dc60)doesn't satisfy

Searching in google about this error i found the solution here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2322
thats the real problem and the patch from Michael Yaroslavtsev
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=1709) works perfectly. I
recompiled the Xfree86 and all is working perfectly.
I'm new in this amd64/debian world, i dont know who is the mainteiner, but if
he read this, please, look at this patch, works fine :)
Thanks for all the work you are doing, for making posible to join the power
of debian and amd64.
