Bug#483989: xserver-xorg-video-savage: system freeze while starting X

["Tormod Volden" <debian.tormod@gmail.com>]

You listed 5 reverted commits above. Did you try to narrow down which
ones you need to revert? Or are they all broken by the
02_temporary_revert_pciaccess.diff?

You can also try to start the server with "sudo strace Xorg" from
another machine, or "sudo gdb Xorg". Sometimes the debugging makes the
execution slow enough that you will get something in the log. If you
try gdb, setting breakpoints around/inside SavageMapMem might be an
idea as well, to find where it blows up.

And does the standard tricks of Option "BusType" "PCI" and Option
"DRI" "off" make any change?

Cheers,
Tormod
