Hey all,

First off, I'd like to say many thanks to the nouveau developers!

I've got a Sun Ultra 10 running Debian 6 (testing branch) with an 
onboard ATI card and a PCI GeForceMX 4000. So far X works fine on the 
ATI card, but I noticed that the DRM driver for the GF4 has a few 
unaligned accesses in it (see log). I can actually start X using that 
card, but all I get is a black screen -- though the cursor works and I 
can move it around! It seems like it is very close to working. 
Unfortunately, I can't seem kill X in a way that preserves the graphical 
output of either the gfx chip.

Any ideas where to begin hacking at this problem? Any suggestions or 
known issues on RISC systems? I have an x86 box running Debian 6 with a 
Geforce4 MX (AGP) as well, so hopefully I can test fixes that will work 
on both x86 and sparc64.
