The computer in question will not finish starting an X session (XFCE-4.6.0 or KDE-3.5.10) with linux-2.6.29. The X session starts with the X cursor, which then turns into the watch cursor. The machine can be rebooted via ssh, but X will not shut down on it's own. To follow: kernel .config, lspci, /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Created attachment 20711 [details] /var/log/Xorg.0.log while running 2.6.27-gentoo-r9 /var/log/Xorg.0.log from same system while X is actually up and running. This is under 2.6.27-gentoo-r9, but the results are the same when running a .27 version kernel. Note. This same machine won't work with .28 kernels either. I am one of the last outstanding bugs with the .28 version kernels.
Unless there is someone who wishes to take on this bug as their own, I request that it be closed. The machine in question has died, and I am not going to attempt to fix it again. Therefore, this bug dies with the machine...unless anyone else would like to take over.
Closing then. Btw we have some 8xx fixes in newer kernel.
