Comment 2 Jeremy Huddleston Sequoia 2011-10-31 17:14:26 UTC 
I sent out a series of patches to the xorg-devel list.  Feel free to revive 
them.

Note that the title of this bug isn't exactly true, because Xorg works just fine without patching on a Loongson-based Fuloong system which uses a SiS 315 video chip.

The problem seems to be related specifically to a Silicon Motion video chip in combination with some non-x86 architectures.

opened a new bug ticket for PowerPC

Mass closure: This bug has been untouched for more than six years, and is not obviously still valid. Please file a new report if you continue to experience issues with a current server.
