Okay, more investigation on this error.
I noticed the same message (****INVALID IO ALLOCATION****) in the logfile
for another chipset (ATI Technologies Inc RS480 [Radeon Xpress 200G
Series])
on a Nec VL350 computer. I noticed a beep when starting XFree86, which
this
time doesn't fail. This beep probably comes from the BIOS. I tested again
on the Dell GX270 and Dell GX280 and, indeed, they emit the beep too (but,
as said,
XFree86 fails on the computers).
The beep is part of the message...
I looked deeper into the patch 4.6.99.17-4.6.99.18.diff.bz2 and found that
this
file modified by the patch is the culprit :
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/bus/linuxPci.c (1.14)
bugfixes :
111. Various PCI-related changes (Marc La France):
[...]
So it has to be reworked, I think.
Without the output from `scanpci -v -v` that I asked you for, there is
nothing I can rework it to.
Marc.
