Re: Xorg 7 on sparc64

Using a 2.6.16 kernel and today's Xorg packages with the `xorg.conf' you
sent, all I get is this:

... followed by a blank screen, and a machine hang.  The packages I use
are slightly more recent that those you mention on the wiki:

 xorg                    7.0.15
 xserver-xorg-core       1.0.2-7
 xserver-xorg-video-ati  6.5.8.0-1

I've upgraded today to exactly the same versions (and 2.6.16-10), and it still works fine. I don't have a /etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy file, or /etc/X11/xserver directory, for that matter :-/. I do get the same warnings and errors though (except the SecurityPolicy thing), they do not seem to affect the functionality. It looks like bug 362246, please supply additional information to it.

Now, with a 2.6.15 kernel and the same `xorg.conf', the machine does _not_
hang but X spits out the same messages, except that the "error opening
security policy file" line is replaced with:

 (EE) /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libxaa.so is an unrecognized module type
 (EE) ATI: Failed to load module "xaa" (unknown module type, 6)
 (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Hm, this file loads fine for me:

(II) Loading /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libxaa.so
(II) Module xaa: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
        compiled for 7.0.0, module version = 1.2.0
        ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 0.8

sha1sum of this file is:

7bfc397c6d7f0a174f46aede663c5338aacf6472  /usr/lib/xorg/modules/libxaa.so

In general, my situation is probably a bit simpler, I've installed new xorg from scratch, so I'm probably not hitting all the juicy upgrade bugs...
