I built the xorg-server port and had the same issue as has been reported by a number of people; "dlopen: /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libfb.so: Unsupported relocation type 6 in non-PLT relocations" Turns out this is due to having the Xorg modules statically linking against libgcc, which contains non-PIC relocations. Also, libgcc may not be being built correctly since I don't think it should end up having any unresolved functions, even within itself. Regardless, I manually fixed the problem by dropping down into the Xorg build area for libfb.so cd work/xc/programs/Xserver/fb editing Makefile to change libgcc to libgcc_pic: POSTNOSTDLIB = -Wl,-Bstatic -lgcc_pic -Wl,-Bdynamic forcing a rebuild by deleting libfb.so rm libfb.so ; gmake and then copying the newly built libfb.so to /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/ The Radeon driver still isn't working but at least there's snow on the screen :) later, Peter.home | help
