[Dri-devel] XFree86 problems running on my system.

[teunis <te...@co...>]

Oh, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Happy Solstice, Happy Yule, and I
ferget the rest 'cause my family's christian an I don't really hear much
'bout the other holidays this time of year...  but Happy Holidays no
matter -what- you celebrate! :)

Now on this message:

Prithee, anyone know what this's about?

This -is- the right area to ask AFAIK.  I've heard of a bugposting site
but haven't found it...  (I just do lynx 'n sometimes it's hard to find a
site)

Anyways, I've been playing with the X code.  Downloaded a new CVS last
night, compiled and ran.  Guess what?  (no changes to the code whatsoever,
going from standard CVS)

pciReadWord: Alignment Error: Cannot read 16 bits at offset 28.

Traced it down to a 'pciReadWord(<bus details>, PCI_PCI_BRIDGE_IO_REG)'
(line 987, xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/common/xf86bus.c,
calling into line 303+, xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/bus/Pci.c)

PCI_PCI_BRIDGE_IO_REG is defined as 0x1c in
<.../xfree86/common/xf86Pci.h>, line 323.

Can anyone explain this?  This will -always- error out by my guessing.
Unless it's a problem in Pci.c.  I don't get it.

Anyways, I disabled the error-checking and this happened.  Logs are
included.  I'm on a 14.4bps modem connection to the net and am running
Mandrake 6.0.  I have no choice over this, the nearest linux retailer is
about 1000km away.  Or maybe more, not sure if there's one in Edmonton but
probably.  XFree86 was originally 3.3.1, I installed the originally
released rpm's of the binaries and they worked beautifully.  Barring a few
bugs of course (hopefully since fixed).  I need to see if latest CVS fixes
things but this doesn't help any *Sigh*.  Incidentally, compiling (pick a
download of the DRI/X source) has always given me these problems.  I've
got time to mess with it now though.... :)

Thanks and don't mind my rambling on but I hope it figures out in telling
me how to find the problem.

Thanks, and G'day, eh? :)
