Note that I wouldn't count on the kernel package maintainers honing a request to disable CONFIG_IO_STRICT_DEVMEM again, as it's desirable from a security/safety perspective. But I guess you can try.
I did a full native build of the 4.9.13 kernel using this guide: https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/i386/ch08s06.html.en I used the debian supplied config except the IO strict devmem setting. It took almost 2 days to build on the iBook using a SSD! :) X11 now works, so this is the proof.Furthermore the description says that the setting is incompatible with with legacy Xorg, which is the one I am using.
Maybe with an updated ATI driver the usage of legacy is not necessary anymore? I doubt somebody works/worked on these older Mach drivers though.
Adrian, can you open the bug or should I, where ? Riccardo
