[Xen-devel] Getting X to work on XEN unstable / xenolinux 2.4.26

[Richard Ta-Min <tamin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have recently messaged about not being able to use my marvell yukon 
ethernet card with XEN 1.2. I have switched to XEN unstable / xenolinux 
2.4.26 and now my ethernet card works fine. Many thanks to Dr Ian Pratt 
and Dr Keir Fraser for their quick response.

I am now trying to get X to work. My video card is ATI Radeon 9200. To get 
it to work properly even under regular linux I had to install a property 
FGLRX driver from ATI. When I try to 'startx' from xenolinux 2.4.26 
domain0 I get the following error.

=========================================
Fatal server error:
Caught signal 11.  Server aborting
=========================================

That segmentation fault is probably because the FGLRX driver does not work 
under XEN.

Next, I try to 'startx' again but this time with a basic 
/etc/X11/XF86Config file.
This is a basic XF86Config file that tries to use a generic VESA driver. 
This is the driver I used to load under regular linux before I installed 
the property FGLRX driver from ATI and for most purposes it works fine on 
regular linux.

I get the following error under xenolinux 2.4.26.  

============================================================================

Fatal server error:

============================================================================

Is there any way to get FGLRX driver to work under Xen or if not to get 
the generic VESA driver to work so that I can have an X session.

Thanks
Richard.
