Anyway -- the log from trying to use -configure is in http://www.machshav.com/~smb/Xorg.0.log . If I fire up X after removing the xorg.conf file, it doesn't get that error, but it never displays anything and eventually exits. That log is at http://www.machshav.com/~smb/noconfig-Xorg.0.log . I'm running a GENERIC kernel.-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello, On Jul 16, 2009, at 5:07 PM, Steven Bellovin wrote:On Jul 16, 2009, at 5:01 PM, Matthias Scheler wrote:On 16 Jul 2009, at 21:49, Steven Bellovin wrote:I saw another thread that described the need for PCI_ALLOW_MMAPin the kernel, albeit to fix different symptoms.

( it still works on my U60 with a radeon as 2nd head )
Looks like it's one of those radeons that appear as two devices. Also, Xorg -configure doesn't seem to know about PCI domain numbers ( notice the @1 in the PCI identifier in the 2nd log? )
I don't really know why exactly this one fails but what you can try is: - - use your old config- - replace the PCI bus identifier in the Device section with "PCI: 01@01:00:0"
- - cross fingersThere was talk on the xorg-devel list recently about removing Xorg - configure completely because it doesn't always generate usable config files, the general consensus seemed to be to fix it though, so it would generate the same config as what Xorg would use without a config file. As a short term fix I'll look at the code and see if I can teach it to output PCI identifiers with domain numbers. We'll need that anyway.
