Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

Xorg on Sparc Ultra 10- ATI PCI card failure.
-----------------------------------------------------

I have just done an install of Feisty on an Ultra 10.

The install went fine. I then decided to install a graphical desktop, so installed _Ubuntu-Desktop_.

This all went fine, as well. Unfortunately, when starting X, I get an error message:

xf86MapPciMem: Could not mmap PCI memory (some long address) (inappropriate ioctl for device)

I have run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but still get the same error, as I don't know what the memory address should be. As I have the standard PCI video card, that comes with the Ultra 10, I am concerned that this is a problem that should be ironed-out, before full release of Feisty.

Please contact me, if I can help further.

Many thanks,

Chris.

I'm experiencing this on a Sparc Ultra 5, with a video card (ATI 3D Rage Pro 215GP - rev 5c)

Sounds similar to bug #56427:

Does using the x.org executable binary from Debain help?

best regards

Marc,

I installed Etch, and that was fine. Does that help?

Cheers,

Chris.

This bug shows as a DUP of 56427 but that is not correct. 56427 kills the machine on X startup by disabling the IDE controller, but with this problem we just get an error message and X fails.

On edgy the work-around is good, but on feisty the work-around fails.

There is no working X11 for ultrasparc on feisty right now.

Just a note, I tried gutsy (on a Ultra 10) but it has the same error.
seems that edgy with debian package of xserver is the latest release for us :-(
