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.

I'm closing this generic bug report now - if you have issues on alpha,
please report more specific (and this bug is kept open
392500 [           ] xserver-xorg-video-mga: [alpha] fails with a Matrox Millennium II PCI
anyways, so if it is the same case, please add it to that bug report).


Cheers,
Andi
