[NTLUG:Discuss] XFree86 ver 4.0 / Cirrus problem

[lee]

I'm having problems getting XFree86 4.0 to work on a Cirrus
CL-GD5465 chip.  startx fails with this cryptic error:

xf86MapPciMem: Could not mmap PCI memory
[base=0xe4000000,hostbase=0xe4000000,size=0] (No such file or
directory)

I ran XFree86 -configure, which generates a new XF86Config
file.  I get the error when testing the new server with
'XFree86 -xf86config /root/XF86Config.new'.

I've read just about every man page for XFree 4.0 and the docs
on http://www.xfree86.org and I just don't see what could be
wrong.

I submitted a bug report to XFree but I don't know if this
truly is a bug or a "user" error. :)

I have successfully installed XFree86 4.0 on my other computer
(with a S3ViRGE chip) and it works fine.  Version 3.3.6 works
for me on Cirrus chip as well.

Any suggestions to get this Cirrus chip running X 4.0 ???
