X log using either xf86-video-ati 6.8.0 or git

System Specs:
Blue&White 450MHz PowerMac
Radeon 9200 (PCI)

Using xserver-git, libpciaccess-git. When using xf86-video-ati git and 6.8.0, X refuses to load. Xorg.0.log attached.

Using 6.7.197 locks machine hard. Even ssh connections are dead.

Only guessing here, but it looks like something with libpciaccess integration. (See line 95:radeon_bios.c)

Is this card an x86 PCI card?
Comment 2 Matt Turner 2008-03-23 09:35:52 UTC 
No, it's the Mac Edition Radeon 9200.

DRI+EXA+all the rest works perfectly with xserver-1.3 and xf86-video-ati-6.8.0 combination.
Comment 3 Michel Dänzer 2008-03-24 01:57:03 UTC 
The log file ends abruptly, please attach the X server stderr output.

It looks like this has been fixed somehow. I'll mark it fixed.
