When using xorg-server-0.99.1-r9 and xf86-video-chips-1.0.0 ... on startx, I get the following error: dlopen: (path) chips_drv.so: undefined symbol: CHIPSMMIOSync (EE) failed to load module "chips" (loader failed, 7) So the driver is not even loaded. Looks like its using the dlloader instead of the ELF loader I used previously (in xorg 6.8.2). There is however no dlloader use flag anymore, so it is no longer optional. In my old xorg 6.8.2, I _disabled_ the dlloader via USE flag (more accurately, I never _enabled_ it). So I always naively used the elf loader, and never had problems... Other drivers (vesa, fbdev) load fine (with dlopen) and work. The problem is with dlopen, chips_drv.so and an undefined symbol. CHIPSMMIOSync is not defined in chips_drv.so (nm tells me that), so dlopen is actually right. Now the problem is, WHERE is it defined??? Not in anything that is in my drivers or libs directory.

But the driver itself has always worked, I´ve used it for years. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install xorg-server (following the migration guide by spyderous) 2. install xf86-video-chips and put it in xorg.cfg 3. startx Actual Results: dlopen complains about undefined symbol, then X server crashes with the above mentioned error. Expected Results: dlopen should load the chips driver (undefined symbol problem needs to be fixed - upstream???), then the X server should start.

This is an upstream bug. Please file a bug at bugs.freedesktop.org, xorg product -- modular component if it's not reproduceable with 6.8.99.15, otherwise under the chips driver. Post the URL here once you have. Thanks!
fdo bug # 4588 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4588
This should be fixed in the latest modular rc.
Marking fixed.
