X11 on Mach64

Hi,

I try to run Xorg on my Mach64 (3D Rage LT PRO AGP) device but so far no luck.
What I did so far:

- build the mach64 kernel module
- build the xf86-video-mach64 driver for Xorg

The kernel module required a small patch to build with the latest kernel, but it loads and creates /dev/dri/card0

[  634.468092] mach64: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.
[  634.472595] mach64: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel
[  634.487534] [drm] Initialized mach64 2.0.0 20060718 for 0000:01:00.0 on minor 0

The xf86-video-mach64 driver just had a new release to be compatible with Xorg 21.1 so I had hoped it would just work.

I have

X.Org X Server 1.21.1.4
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0
Current Operating System: Linux mitac 6.0.8-arch1-1.0 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Sun, 13 Nov 2022 19:06:25 +0000 i686
Kernel command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=cf85e748-884d-46d8-879c-e048750dbdf0 rw mitigations=off iommu=off loglevel=3 quiet
 
Current version of pixman: 0.42.2

When I would just run X with e.g. startx it would complain about missing symbols. I had to manually specify the modules that contained those symbols:

Section "Module"
        Load  "exa"
        Load  "int10"
        Load  "shadowfb"
EndSection

But still no luck: the X just crashes

Re: X11 on Mach64

I never got mach64 running on my (t)rusty old Travelmate 524TEV.. :-(
