Hi,

I cannot get X to work. The screen turns black for a few seconds an
then the console returns indicating an sigsegv error (see appended
X server output).

kernel is 2.4.17 (self-compiled with my own configuration, also
happened with previous ones), xfree package is "xserver-xfree86,
4.1.0-11".

Graphics card is a ATI Rage 128, see dmesg output:
> aty128fb: Rage128 RE (PCI) [chip rev 0x2] 16M 128-bit SDR SGRAM (1:1)
> Console: switching to colour frame buffer device 128x48
> fb0: ATY Rage128 frame buffer device on PCI

There are also some suspicious error messages from the X server:
> Symbol drmScatterGatherAlloc from module
> /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o is unresolved!
> etc.

Is this combination supposed to work and if yes, what am I doing
wrong?

Please cc replies to me as I'm not subscribed to the list.

regards & thanks,
chris
