X11R7 RC1 works more than less on linux/sparc (ati and sunffb)

[René Rebe]

Hi all,

I'm pleased to find out that X11R7 RC1 does work more than less on linux/sparc 
(32bit userspace). There are "only" two problems:

 - The loader fails to load the modules used by sunffb, cfb and cfb32. Loading 
them explicitly in the xorg.conf does work around this. I'll take a look into 
fixing this later. Also is it reasonable to convert the sunffb driver to the 
new fb layer or is the loss in performance to be expected?

 - The module path does not contain /xorg/, it is just /usr/X11/lib/modules 
which does not match the installation path that is /usr/X11/lib/xorg/modules. 
A symlink can work around this and I'll review why this happens later on. 
Modular X.org built in the same way does work correctly on x86, powerpc and 
x86-64 ...

The test were done on an Ultra5 with a Ati mach64 and an Ultra30 with the 
Creator3D (sunffb).

Yours,
