2008-08-28 20:34:20 Bryce Harrington xserver-xorg-video-ati: statusexplanation Regarding the error message "xf86EnableIOPorts: failed to set IOPL", that is probably a very strong clue. This error message occurs in ./hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/lnx_video.c in function xf86EnableIO(), line 566 due to a failure in this call: if (ioperm(0, 1024, 1) || iopl(3)) { ... That's a pretty low level call... almost makes me wonder if it's a hardware issue? Fwiw, *sometimes* high X resource loads can just be due to weird X client apps (like a panel applet you might have installed from somewhere). To rule out this possibility, could you burn and boot an Intrepid Alpha-4 LiveCD? If you can reproduce the issue there, it'll strengthen the case that this may be a hardware or kernel issue. If you can't, then we may want to look more closely at the software.
