[SOLVED] ArchPPC: Xorg returns "Bus error at address 0x700794"

Mardok · 2010-04-30 20:06:08

I'm coming from Gentoo's PowerPC distribution and I have to say that it's a breath of fresh air to be able to be able to just download packages instead of compiling (don't mean to bash Gentoo). However, I'm having trouble getting Xorg to start running.

I'm using a xorg.conf because Xorg itself can't find the proper kernel drivers for the display.

I'm not sure what Xorg.0.log is trying to say. Is it a bug? Is it not getting the proper drivers?

Xorg worked under Gentoo, but I've never seen this kind of error message before.

Turns out I was missing the radeon driver

Now that I got that problem solved, I'm getting a blank screen, but at least Xorg starts up.

EDIT: I removed the xorg.conf and now it works.
