I just compiled Xorg 7.0 yesterday and ran into this problem. I found several
similar problems on the web but no good explanations or solutions as far as I
can tell, but it does seem to be fairly common.
I am running an AGP geforce4 and PCI AIW radeon (the original one, i don't
know what the real model number is). Everything worked yesterday morning
with 6.8 so there shouldnt be anything wrong with the hardware. Below is
bits of the log that I thought might be important, I can provide more info if
necessary.
Also, after installing it couldnt locate pcidata and bitmap, I
added /usr/lib/xorg modulepath in the config file, in case it matters.
Thanks
