# cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/0001\:c1\:00.0/resource 0x0000040178000000 0x0000040179ffffff 0x0000000000000200 For me this reads as if the device is mapped in higher PCI memory regions. At least physically on the CPC945, you cannot 'map' it at any other place; it
Ja, right, sorry for the mixup. Still, the Xserver needs 64bit addresses in a 32bit user space program, for mmap()ing. Currently, adddresses are long or int in a lot of places.
a trick to be played to put your peripheral addresses at the top of your virtual address space, and make your application think it has 62GB of real.. contiguous memory. Is this an artefact of that?
I don't know, and I think it doesn't really matter. (In reply to comment #38)
in SLES10 the pci devices were found. But mga is broken since 4.0.2 from 2001.
The Xserver could never ever work on this machine as a 32 bit binary. Irrelevant of the driver (maybe except fb and/or vesa).
we can add a xorg-server.ppc64.rpm to the install media.
I would like to debug 32bit ppc first, which won't work as well ATM. Do we have a 32bit ppc machine here for debugging? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
