RE: [Xen-devel] X86_64 Xorg Xfree86 issues

[David F Barrera <dfbp@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am seeing this very same problem on a FC3 x86 machine, when Xen is
built with PAE=y. The problem does not happen when PAE is not set. 

Partial test from /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

(II) Module vgahw: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
        compiled for 6.8.1, module version = 0.1.0
        ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 0.7
(**) I810(0): Depth 24, (--) framebuffer bpp 32
(==) I810(0): RGB weight 888
(==) I810(0): Default visual is TrueColor
(II) Loading sub module "int10"
(II) LoadModule: "int10"
(II) Reloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libint10.a
(II) I810(0): initializing int10
(WW) xf86ReadBIOS: /dev/mem mmap failed (Resource temporarily unavailable)
(EE) I810(0): Cannot read int vect
(EE) I810(0): VBE initialization failed.
(II) UnloadModule: "i810"
(II) UnloadModule: "int10"
(II) UnloadModule: "vgahw"
(II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvgahw.a
(II) UnloadModule: "vbe"
(II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/libvbe.a
(II) UnloadModule: "int10"
(II) Unloading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/linux/libint10.a
(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.

Fatal server error:
no screens found
