What version of the Xserver are your running?
Kind'of old one. This is only Testing, since I don't want to deal with the the bugs directly from SiD. I think it is 1.4.1. There is 1.6.2 in SiD, thought.
Ah, you're running Debian. So am I. The Lenny (and Squeeze) 1.4.1 Xserver fails to work on my Alphas with a radeon rv610 card and radeonhd. I suspect, but can't remember for sure, that I had similar messages in the Xorg log file as you report. A couple or so months ago I did have the Xserver working with the rv610 card after compiling my own 1.5.3 xserver and radeonhd and using a patched Linux kernel. So it does work on esoteric architectures! (Mind you, I don't have endian issues since Alpha is little endian.) I have since upgraded to Debian Sid to try out the newer Debian Xserver and updated to the 2.6.30 kernel (which finally supports resource files in sysfs on the Alpha architecture) but it causes kernel oops (with corruption of disk partitions) in the middle of xserver initialisation :-( I must get around to reporting that one since it is particularly nasty!
