Hi,

About 2 years ago, you reported (or replied to) a bug in the Debian BTS
regarding the X server not starting on a Cyrix 6x86 processor. Did any
of you guys reproduce this problem recently? With Xorg/Etch? With latest
xserver-xorg-core in unstable?

Thanks,
Brice

I haven't checked recently because I decided to upgrade the machine inquestion from a Cyrix 486DX2 (which, I've since found out, doesn'tsupport CPUID at all and should be excluded from any CPUID-basedchecks...) to a Pentium OverDrive, which works with no problems (asidefrom being slow, of course).
