How big is your screen (including both heads if you are using
dualhead)?  The texture coordinate limits are 2048x2048 on r3xx/r4xx
hw.  If your desktop is bigger than that, it'll fall back to software.

Mine is bigger than that (3520x1200) but I have a r5xx card, so I
guess it's moot?

01:00.1 Display controller: ATI Technologies Inc R580 [Radeon X1900 XT]

(anyway, isn't this bug about the crash on startup with EXA + a
rotation in xorg.conf?)

yeah, r5xx has 4096x4096 limits.

yes it is.  sorry, getting off topic.  Unfortunately I haven't had a
chance to look into this further yet.

It's 3840x1200 in regular operation.  OpenGL applications have display
problems at around 2500 pixels (counting from the right), but otherwise,
there are no problems, and obviously, there is some hardware
acceleration.  However, when I rotate one screen, I can watch how
terminal windows are drawn.

Bug#426433: xserver-xorg: xserver fails to start because of resource conflict

Hi,

finally got around to testing this and Eureka! it works. I had to
first surmount my fears of mixing experimental with lenny, but it was
worth my while:

http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-apt-get.en.html#s-default-version

Please cc me in any further mails because I only found out that there
was a package in experimental through random googling. I've attached
my Xorg.0.log for details.

Thanks a bunch, Rob

What if you remove the quotes around the PCI ids?

The relevant code is:
  if (!strcmp(argv[i], "-isolateDevice"))
  {
    int bus, device, func;
    CHECK_FOR_REQUIRED_ARGUMENT();
    if (strncmp(argv[++i], "PCI:", 4)) {
       FatalError("Bus types other than PCI not yet isolable\n");
    }
    if (sscanf(argv[i], "PCI:%d:%d:%d", &bus, &device, &func) == 3) {
       xf86IsolateDevice.bus = bus;
       xf86IsolateDevice.device = device;
       xf86IsolateDevice.func = func;
       return 2;
    } else {
       FatalError("Invalid isolated device specification\n");
    }
  }

Cheers,
Julien
