Re: New ARM elfloader patch



Guess what... it built! (Had to split it among the two local partitions and put relatively inactive stuff on NFS.) So the patches were successful that far; they're at:

Unpack the X source, then put all of these in debian/patches, and remove 310_arm_compiler_h.diff from that directory.

Build logs are at:
http://lyre.mit.edu/~powell/debs/xfree86_4.1.0-7.8.log
http://lyre.mit.edu/~powell/debs/xfree86_4.1.0-7.8b.log
(the first completed build and ran out of space in install; the second has install and binary-arch.)

There was one warning worth noting, during the "dh_movefiles" substitute:

cp: cannot stat `/redhat/packages/xfree86-4.1.0/debian/tmp/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/tdfx.o': No such file or directory

Now the bad news: it doesn't work. :-( The debugging loader churns out over 30 MB of stuff, then dies with:

ElfGetSymbolNameIndex(6b,a) afbCreateDefColormap 1 0 0
FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument

Fatal server error:
AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0

The (huge!) log and XF86Config (generated by debconf) are at:
http://lyre.mit.edu/~powell/debs/XFree86.0.log
http://lyre.mit.edu/~powell/debs/XF86Config-4

Does this much (this little) progress justify including the above patches in the X package?
