[Xorg-driver-geode] Black blank screen when using geode driver

[Yair Poleg]

Hi everyone,

For the last few days i'm trying to get Xorg to use the geode driver with no
success.
I'v tried everything i could find on the net, used every patch / config
option that i could find and even tried to downgrade to previous driver
versions. And yet, no luck.

The result is always one of the following:
1. X starts and shows black blank screen. ps -AHf shows that kde starts and
spawns child processes and etc. I cant change back to console using
ALT+CTRL+Fn (I can do it only after i killall -9 X). The attached xorg.0.log
and ps.txt and xorg.conf relates to this case.

2. X fails to start (hangs..) and shows black blank screen. No child
processes or any life signs. Again i cant change back to console. In this
case, the last line in xorg.0.log is always
         "(II) GEODE(0): vgaHWGetIOBase: hwp->IOBase is 0x03d0,
hwp->PIOOffset is 0x0000".


More platform details:
* Its a panel-pc made by IEI, model AFL-07A with 7" TFT screen.
* Award Phoenix BIOS (i'm quite sure i cant help the BIOS version..)
* CPU: Geode GX 500 MHz
* 256 MB ram

Attached are logs/info files that might help.

Thanks,
Yair
