The X server should Ummm, nothing that I know of would affect this. There were a few minor bogons fixed in post 0210-SNAP, but these have been around forever. My #9GXE/Pro is working just fine. I know through explict checking that it is mmaping using /dev/mem and is mapping the a0000-ffffff range (why the whole thing I don't know). It is not doing linear mapping on my machine with the version of the XInside server that I'm using. Perhaps I need to tweak something somewhere to get it to do that, and perhaps this is why I don't see the problem? ...I dunno, but it's working fine with the stock configuration. Note: Jeremy Chatfield isn't on -current, so if you wish for him to see this discourse he needs to be CC'd (which I just did). -DG
