Bug#533450: Some success
Hi Adam,
Last few days I have been trying to get the XOrg psb driver working on Lenny based on [1]. I had a partial success with it - I got the kernel drm stuff working (psb.ko and drm.ko) and I get a psb framebuffer console during the boot. However when my X server starts I get the following message:
xf86MapVidMem: Could not mmap framebuffer (0×00000000, 0xdfe80000) (Cannot allocate memory)
In case if you want to try the approach in [1], I can email you my steps.
I think I am pretty close to get it working but I would still like to try your approach. You mentioned that you were able to get the packages compiled from PPA Jaunty source on your Debian unstable without pulling the entire Xorg from Ubuntu? Do you mind giving summary of your steps as to how you did it? I tried to build the xserver-xorg-video-psb package but I get packages dependency error as some of the packages that are require are not in unstable:
***************************************************************************************************
checking for XORG... configure: error: Package requirements (xorg-server>= 1.0.99.901 xproto fontsproto xf86dgaproto xineramaproto randrproto renderproto videoproto xf86miscproto xextproto) were not met:
No package 'xf86dgaproto' found
No package 'xineramaproto' found
No package 'xf86miscproto' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XORG_CFLAGS
and XORG_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
***************************************************************************************************
How did you get past this error? Did you end up downloading the missing packages from Ubuntu?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.

> Yes, it seems that if I try to install Xorg from Lenny it, it tries to remove the psb packages and vice versa. I don't know enough about Xorg system, but I am ready to spare some time to get the psb packages working in Debian. If there is some sort of similar example from the past on how to port packages from Ubuntu to Debian, I can give it a shot.
