Package: xserver-xfree86 Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-8rjmx2 Followup-For: Bug #280384 I hacked the sources to log a trace line at entry and exit points of most of the functions I could find in the execution sequence, commencing at the point where it loads baseModules (bitmap and pcidata) (actual source mods available on request, but probably not very useful). I also had it log values for symbols found in xf86PciProbe(), for reasons that will become obvious. Here's an excerpt from the log (trace lines begin with "File:"): > (WW) Open APM failed (/dev/apm_bios) (No such device) > (II) Module ABI versions: > XFree86 ANSI C Emulation: 0.2 > XFree86 Video Driver: 0.6 > XFree86 XInput driver : 0.4 > XFree86 Server Extension : 0.2 > XFree86 Font Renderer : 0.4 > (II) Loader running on linux > File xf86Init.c: Loading baseModules. > (II) LoadModule: "bitmap" > (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/fonts/libbitmap.a > (II) Module bitmap: vendor="The XFree86 Project" > compiled for 4.3.0.1, module version = 1.0.0 > Module class: XFree86 Font Renderer > ABI class: XFree86 Font Renderer, version 0.4 > (II) Loading font Bitmap > (II) LoadModule: "pcidata" > (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libpcidata.a > (II) Module pcidata: vendor="The XFree86 Project" > compiled for 4.3.0.1, module version = 1.0.0 > ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.6 > File xf86Init.c: Finished loading baseModules. > File xf86Init.c: Commencing xf86BusProbe(). > File xf86pciBus.c: Entering xf86PciProbe(). > File xf86pciBus.c: xf86PciProbe(): XFree86LOADER defined. > File xf86pciBus.c, xf86PciProbe(): xf86SetupPciIds = 0x7029c008. > File xf86pciBus.c, xf86PciProbe(): xf86ClosePciIds = 0x7029c05c. > File xf86pciBus.c, xf86PciProbe(): xf86FindPciNamesByDevice = 0x7029c0ac. > File xf86pciBus.c, xf86PciProbe(): xf86FindPciNamesBySubsys = 0x7029c4e4. > File xf86pciBus.c, xf86PciProbe(): xf86FindPciClassBySubsys = 0x7029c6dc. > File xf86pciBus.c, xf86PciProbe(): xf86FindPciClassByDevice = 0x7029c864. > File xf86pciBus.c, xf86PciProbe(): Calling xf86SetupPciIds(). Note that the crash (usually a segfault) occurs when it calls xf86SetupPciIds() in the file noted. I'd added tracing code at the beginning of that routine, which seems to be never reached. This led me to think that there's a problem in the binary loader somehow, which is why I had it print the values of the entry points it found (I thought they might be nulls, for example. No such luck.). So it appears to be related to the loader in some way, although why it should be ok on a 2.4 kernel (actually 2.4.27) and not ok on a 2.6 kernel (2.6.9), I have no idea. Hope this helps, .....Ron -- Package-specific info: Contents of /var/lib/xfree86/X.roster: xserver-xfree86 xserver-xfree86-dbg /etc/X11/X target unchanged from checksum in /var/lib/xfree86/X.md5sum.
