need help w/ XF86 failing on pismo

[Karen Boyette <tokimi@collapsar.net>]

Hello all,

I am having a problem getting XF86 to run. This is the scenario: fresh 
potato install upgraded to SID, running on Pismo powerbook (400, 
firewire). When I run "X -configure", it segfaults. Neither the default 
XF86Config-4 or other downloaded ones will work, failing w/ no screens 
found or no screens with usable configuration. It is loading the proper 
(ati) module. Has anyone seen or had experience solving this?

Thanks
