Your radeon DRM driver may not be new enough to support R500 chips.
What does 'dmesg | grep drm' say?

[drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
[drm] Module unloaded
Okay, I'm convinced :-) I'll get a more recent kernel..

I'm pleased indeed. My patch was against xorg-server-1.4.99.905, where I
noticed that behaviour. Chance of a backport of your patch?
Thanks,
Sascha

the XFree86 DDX provides log functions with a verbosity level. Most
drivers implement some DEBUG code that can be enabled to get more
output... But all of this it not done in a coherent manner, and the
messages may be difficult to understand by someone else than the
original developper.
The best approach to tracing the X server would be DTrace on Solaris.
Sun has already contributed some code to help tracing X, and you may be
able to improve it to analyse the specific points you're interested in.

Fair enough, I was wrong :)

Is there anyone out there on "recent" systems that doesn't use Xorg
libraries? I mean, even OSX ships Xorg Xlib (with .pc files). I'm not
sure about Solaris, with their Xsun server, if it had its own
implementation of the client-side libs... has this changed with recent
Solaris versions?
Would it be advisable to tell all those packages to use only pkg-config,
ie through a formal deprecation of the AC_PATH_X macros?
Just wondering.
Thanks

That's the same as advising people to not support programs on anything
except the latest desktop-scrapings.

Hello !
I am in the process of populating a base image aimed for cloning, a
"thin client". We use a recent Xorg (Ubuntu 8.04 updated,
1.4.1~git20080131-1ubuntu9.2) that contain features that we need
(xrandr, latest video driver, dual screen support). Everything works
great.
Our problem : hostname. We like to keep thing very simple (we got
mixed architecture here. Making change to the fat server (host) is not
a very good idea. I like to set the thin client hostname to localhost.
Problem ? The fat server try to talk via hostname to the machine.
I like to know if, on the thin client, there would be a way to force
to server to use IP instead of hostname.
Thank you !

Have a look at build recipies in OpenEmbedded
(http://openembedded.org/), but I suppose they migrated to newer
versions long ago.

Solaris always used sources based on the X11 releases - while our X client
libraries are mostly based on X11R6.4/6.6 in Solaris 8, 9, & 10, we're in
the process of replacing them all with the current X11R7.x versions for
OpenSolaris and the next release of Solaris.
So for us, like for most Linux/BSD distros, you can count on pkg-config if
you ride the cutting edge, but still need to handle other methods of finding
X libraries on older/stable/enterprise/long-term-supported, but still widely
used versions.

It is already a major PITA that software started to assume that
everything has .pc files. Don't make it worse please.
