Hello,

Yesterday I installed the 2.6.0 from the gentoo-dev-sparcsources ebuild and compiled it on my SB100. But after that XFree stopped working.

I re-emerged but to no avail. It complains that it finds no devices. And indeed, when I do a scanpci it finds nothing. I then tried to run lspci but this complains that it can't read any info from /proc/buc/pci/00/.

I went to look in that dir and indeed, I have no 00 dir, it seems to be replaced by a 0000:00 dir.
Anybody got a possible solution ?

thx in advance,

Maarten.

Same situation for me. A bit strange since i think i had it working at some time, but now after reinstall... am puzzled. lspci gets everything straight but xfree & scanpci see naught.

You can also now emerge xorg-x11 which has this patch included. It only has the ~sparc keyword, so you may need to take that into account when emerging it.

this patch only looks at first pci bus on the system, so for systems where graphics adapter is in a second pci bus scanpci will return only a bus controller.

the fix should be trivial - i should have it ready by 2morrow at home and will make it available on request.
