Hi Dave, Recently we've got a report of xorg crashing on an Ultra10 box, and corrupting the filesystem in the process. After some investigation I found the bug 8020 which you've filed against xorg at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8020 That looked like it could be the reason for the crash, as the box in question has this simba PCI bridge. So I disabled the call to the sparcPciPciBridge function, by not defining ARCH_PCI_PCI_BRIDGE in hw/xfree86/os-support/bus/Pci.h and rebuilt it. The resulting server worked fine both on my Ultra5 (it has simba bridge in it, but it has worked even before the change) and Ultra10, which was crashing before. The problem seems to be solved, however I feel a bit uneasy about removing the code without understading the possible impact. Are there any possible negative consequences for such a removal? If the code is not useful, why is it still in xorg anyway?
