Xorg 7 on sparc64

[Ludovic Courtès <ludo@chbouib.org>]

Hello,

I just tried the brand new Xorg 7 packages on my U5 (it has an ATI 3D Rage
Pro 215GP board with 16 MB of RAM).  Basically, whether I use the ATI or FB
driver, the system hangs soon after Xorg started.

Here is the output of Xorg with the ATI driver (I launched it from an SSH
session):

  X Window System Version 7.0.0

          Before reporting problems, check http://wiki.x.org
          to make sure that you have the latest version.

At this point, the SSH server is still running, `screen' also, but I can't
run anything more.

With the `fbdev' driver, things aren't significantly different:

  ...

  (EE) end of block range 0xc0001b < begin 0x2c00018
  (EE) Failed to load module "v4l" (module does not exist, 0)

This time, the SSH server is not responding at all.

Have other people tried this at home?  :-)

Thanks,
Ludovic.
