Debugging X.org drivers?

[Kendall Bennett]

Hi All,

Has the situation changed somewhat from the XFree86 days with debugging 
the loadable modules in the server using GDB? I am still stuck on Red Hat 
7.3 to have a working GDB that will debug loadable modules, and I want to 
move my X development box up to Fedora Core 2. Unfortunately I just tried 
my old GDB 6.0 patch under x86 and it crashes as soon as it tries to do 
something with the module (hit a breakpoint or whatever).

Strangely we used this about a month ago for our port to x86-64, and it 
ran fine with GDB 6.0 on x86-64 and Fedora Core 2. 

Is there a better patch for a later GDB that works on x86 versions of 
Fedora Core 2? If not I suppose I can try to debug the current patch and 
then try to port it to GDB 6.2.1.

Regards,
