Created attachment 14749 [details] xorg.log Trying to use my radeon x800 (pciid 0x554b) using xf86-video-ati 6.8.0 fails on startup. I can't determine from the Xorg.log what the actual error was, it's unclear. I don't have time to dive deep into the code right now, so thought a bug was the right way to go. I also tried git as of half an hour ago (22:00 (gmt), 1st mar 2008) and got the same error. The version currently shipping with openbsd is too old, and thus doesn't even detect the card from what I can see, and leaves me in vesa. Just in case i tried with the monitor connected to either dvi port, both fail (vesa only works with the one, also). Attaching my openbsd dmesg and the xorg.log. Xserver is 1.4.0.90, the only change from OpenBSD default is that dri is enabled in the X build.
Created attachment 14750 [details] dmesg from the system in question (asus PM-5B off the top of my head)
Any chance you could start X with gdb and find out what's causing the exception? http://wiki.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/ServerDebugging
Sure, I'm busy until tomorrow evening but I'll get you something then. Debug symbols help, or would without be ok? (if so i'll have to rebuild X)
preferably with, but if the error is in the driver, a driver with debugging symbols may be ok. See what the output looks like.
Created attachment 14774 [details] backtrace from gdb, using 6.8.0
Backtrace just attached. It's from 6.8.0. Anything else?
does the patch in bug 14594 help?
I'm afraid not. Same failure in the same place.
Actually, sorry. User error.... I actually made sure i reran autoconf and it worked fine with that patch.
