Alright I stripped my processor type, sorry. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
The -fPIC -DPIC definitely made a difference. I've been running Gentoo |
| 4 |
since January on this particular alpha but have yet (Xfree or Xorg) to |
| 5 |
get X to run locally. Always server core exit on run. |
| 6 |
I was also getting lots of: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
Elf_RelocateEntry() Unsupported relocation type 10 |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Which googling pointed to PIC problems with the compilation. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Xorg -configure always worked okay. Last problem I was having was xfs |
| 13 |
giving a floating point exception on startup. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I modded my local ebuild file to allow -fPIC -DPIC from my CFLAGS to get |
| 16 |
passed through. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
My current mostly innocuous CFLAGS are: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
CFLAGS="-mcpu=ev56 -O3 -pipe -fPIC -DPIC" |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
The build took 12 hours and I am still getting the ELF errors but it |
| 23 |
looks as the X continues to run and doesn't server exit. (I'm not |
| 24 |
actually at the console at the moment to see the X though). |

| 26 |
BTW, this alpha server 800 with an add-on ATI RagePro3D+TV (Mach 64 |
| 27 |
derivative) |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
I disabled the onboard S3 VGA as it wasn't supported except as a VGA. |
