Thanks for your testing.

Hi Gaudenz,
I am happy to help you solve this problem on SPARC machine. There is attached log from my E250. I run self compiled 2.6.26.1 kernel. For testing I upgrade machine to

Does your self compiled kernel have the patch from http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/6/3/147 reverted or not? If not, could you try a self compiled kernel with this patch reverted?

latest SID and run debian kernel to test Xorg.
But this kernel crash with:

Is this with the kernel from the Debian archive or with the kernel I compiled for testing purpose and put at http://people.debian.org/~gaudenz/sparc/ ?
I downgraded Xorg to SID and there is a result:

==) Log file: "/var/log/Xorg.0.log", Time: Thu Oct 30 21:36:11 2008

sunik:~# uname -a

I mean that patch doesn't help.

I must say again that problem on SPARC machines with Xorg is problem with Xorg not with kernel.

In principle I agree with you. But to fix the X server side of the problem we would have to upgrade to the X server currently in experimental. I don't think that it's possible to upgrade lenny to
this version at this moment right before the release. So I'm trying to find
out if the problem is also solved by reverting the problematic kernel change.

And as you have noticed yourself, the X server in experimental has other
problems. So it's not really suitable for a release.
Please look at  http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/6/3/147 <http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/6/3/147>

I'm already aware of this.
