Dear list members,

after upgrading to X.org with libpciaccess (git hashes:
a3b63c43b960e3b37e1b303214e63c5155192a5d for libpciaccess,
726dcd9e4ebfb09c0685450dca6e9fae7e773814 for xserver and
d0cbce17e1d1e99dbecda339c6704b96606b20d3 for xf86-video-savage),
Xorg would not start up with a SuperSavage device anymore.
Relevant Xorg.0.log entries seemed to be:

(II) SAVAGE(0): initializing int10
(II) SAVAGE(0): Primary V_BIOS segment is: 0xc000
(II) SAVAGE(0): VESA BIOS detected

(EE) SAVAGE(0): Internal error: cound not map aperture range (7, Argument list too long).

I managed to get it working again using this patch:

diff --git a/src/savage_driver.c b/src/savage_driver.c
index eb06519..f62a02f 100644
--- a/src/savage_driver.c
+++ b/src/savage_driver.c

     psav->ApertureRegion.size = (psav->IsPrimary || psav->IsSecondary)
-        ? (0x01000000 * 2) : (0x01000000 * 5);
+        ? (0x01000000 * 2) : (0x01000000 * 4);
 
 
     if (psav->FbRegion.size != 0) {


However, I don't know if this will cause problems using other devices.
Maybe some additional checks are needed.

Tell me if you need any further information.

Best regards,
