Bug#262183: xserver of 4.3.x fails to start on Alpha



Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4
Priority: important

Hi,

recently, after upgrading to 4.3.x, xserver has failed to
start on my Alpha with a message;

      Fatal server error:
      no screens found

So I downgraded xserver-xfree86 and xserver-common to 4.2.1-16
and hold them at present (they work fine).

XFree86.0.log told me that the difference between 4.2.1 and
4.3.0 was;

[4.2.1]
(II) S3: driver (version 0.3.5 for S3 chipset: 964-0, 964-1, 968,
	Trio32/64, Aurora64V+, Trio64V2/DX or /GX
(II) Primary Device is: PCI 00:09:0
(--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device
(--) Chipset Trio32/64 found

[4.3.0]
(II) S3: driver (version 0.3.5 for S3 chipset: 964-0, 964-1, 968,
	Trio32/64, Aurora64V+, Trio64V2/DX or /GX
(II) Primary Device is: ISA
(EE) No devices detected.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

I'm not sure if this is related to the problem but because my 
Alpha machine failed to boot with kernel 2.4 nor 2.6 so the kernel
is yet 2.2.25.

I'm not good at debugging but if you need more info, please
let me know.

Regards,			2004.7.30(Fri)
