Well there is a small screwup in the XFree86-4.2.1 code that
makes a theoretically optional component non -optional in some hardware
configurations. In the atimisc driver Xaa is not made 'optional'
as it is apparently in other drivers.
The solution is to include a module that we don't need, and which is
supposed to be optional, but is apparently not.
in the config file /etc/X11/XF86Config
at:
Section "Module"
Load "dbe"
Load "dri"
Load "extmod"
Load "glx"
Load "pex5"
Load "record"
Load "xie"
Load "xtrap"
Load "speedo"
Load "type1"
Load "xaa" <--------Add this line
EndSection
It's disconcerting when a -RELEASE system can't get X11 going
on SOME hardware, however at least the answer is simple.
keywords for poor people searching in the future:
ASUS P4PE P4B533 PCI
