Description ink 1999-03-09 11:11:02 UTC 
XF86DGA tries to mmap the PCI-bus physical address (32 bit),
but it's wrong on alphas. We should add dense memory base
address to the PCI-bus offset to get correct mapping.

Comment 3 Preston Brown 1999-03-15 16:00:59 UTC 
The patch looks good.  This fix has been applied in RawHide, and will
be made officially available in the next release of Red Hat Linux.
Comment 4 ink 1999-06-30 08:06:59 UTC 
Still broken in 6.0...
Quoted from XFree86-3.3.3.1.spec:
 # the following patch is incomplete..broken..and thus commented out.
 #%patch61 -p1 -b .alphadga
I'm afraid the wrong patch sneaked into srpm,
and I'll send another one later today.
Comment 5 Preston Brown 1999-08-23 17:45:59 UTC 
This will be fixed in the forthcoming errata release of 3.3.5.
