Re: Bug#345497: xserver-xorg: [mga] unresolved symbol in mga_drv.o crashes xserver, leaving the console unusable
Hi everyone,
Just in case somebody cares - I've had the same problem with my G550
card after upgrading to Xorg 6.9.0. Since I'm using this card in hi-res
modes via DVI, I had some motivation to look at this issue a little more
thoroughly. I took some time to compare the Xorg 6.9.0 mga driver with
the source of the mga driver provided by Matrox for the Xorg 6.8.2
release. The main problem seemed to me that the names of quite a few
symbols have changed. I fixed the mis-matching names in the Matrox mga /
Xorg 6.8.2 driver source, recompiled Xorg 6.9.0 and got a mga_drv.so and
mga_hal_drv.so which has been working just fine with the current Debian
testing 6.9.0 Xorg release for the last 6 weeks. Since Matrox hasn't
released an updated driver for Xorg 6.9.0 yet, I decided to post this
stuff here. Below is the somewhat lengthy way to get the working
modules. Drop me a note if you like a binary (i386) copy of the compiled
mga_drv.o/mga_hal_drv.o instead of going through the hassle to recompile
yourself.
Best regards,
Dirk
