Bug#394669: xserver-xorg not working on Alpha architecture
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.1.0-5
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
xserver-xorg is not working at all in Alpha architecture.
I have installed on an Alpha PWS 500 and the X server could not start
with two different video cards (and video drivers).
All are PCI cards: a Voodoo 5/5500 64MB and a Matrox G450 32MB DDR PCI.
Both cards works fine with XFree 4.3.0
The X server simply doesn't start, the process takes 99,9% of CPU time
and hangs until killed (by user kill -9).
Just ask if any other test is required.
