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

  X Window System Version 7.0.0
  ...
  (==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Tue May  2 06:42:58 2006
  (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"
  (EE) end of block range 0xc0000b < begin 0x2c00008
  (EE) end of block range 0xc0001b < begin 0x2c00018
  (EE) end of block range 0xc0000b < begin 0x2c00008
  (EE) end of block range 0xc0001b < begin 0x2c00018
  (WW) ****INVALID IO ALLOCATION**** b: 0x2c00400 e: 0x2c004ff correcting
  error opening security policy file /etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy

... 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

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.

  Fatal server error:
  no screens found

(Then X exits with -1.)  The same occurs with a 2.6.14 kernel.

So there's something fishy going on here.  Are you saying so you can
start Xorg 7 without even seeing the "end of block range" messages?

Thanks,
Ludovic.
