Fresh install of 6.1/amd64 - broken Xorg with Nvidia 7600 GT (stock nv driver)

[danny webster]

Hi all,

I recently built a new box, with A8N32-SLI Deluxe mobo, PCI-E geforce 7600 GT.

CPU: AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4400+ (2210.07-MHz K8-class CPU)
avail memory = 4000612352 (3815 MB)

.. and built to 6.1-STABLE (including options SMP).  The default Xorg
which is installed at install time is broken on my machine.  A
'xorgcfg', or testing the xorg.conf.new spews the following error,
then sigabrt's.

"Fatal server error:
Caught signal 8.  Server aborting"

I have also removed the package Xorg, tried the one built from ports,
but same error.  Also, I tried xorg-server-snap, but same problem.

Here's a backtrace from the core via gdb.

.. and here is what is reported from pciconf -lv


none11 at pci3:0:0:        class=0x030000 card=0x22211682 chip=0x039210de
rev=0xa1 hdr=0x00
    vendor   = 'NVIDIA Corporation'
    class    = display
    subclass = VGA


the "none11" part fills me with suspicion - is there a specific kernel
config option to use with PCI-E devices?  Apart from this, everything
else works just fine (apart from nve0 instability, but i don't use the
i/f...</OT>).  The BusID's are correct in the xorg.conf (as per
pciconf output).

I'd appreciate any pointers in the right direction

Thanks for your time.

Dan.
