Colour me doubtful about this as a fix. Its bug report has an XFree86.log
that actually appears to scan the PCI bus, then does lots of other things
before reporting "no screens found". In contrast, both the logs from the
originator of this thread and the XFree86.log in bug #280384 show the crash
occurring immediately after loading the pcidata module, with no attempt to
scan the PCI bus. That is also my experience, as evidenced by the log in my
own post to bug #280384. They don't look like the same problem to me at all.
Hi,
I have looked more carefully at bug 279436. The fix which Branden Robinson
referred to was supposed to take care of the problem on sparc64 when the
machine does not have a PCI bus numbered zero. Can those who experienced
the crashes please post the contents of their /proc/bus/pci directory? If
it looks like this:
$ ls /proc/bus/pci/
40/ 60/ 80/ 81/ devices
i.e. there is no '00' entry, then there is hope, that the patch will
actually do something useful. If there is a '00' entry, then we are
looking at a completely different problem.
