How to do I get stack trace / debug XFree86 4.0.1 ???

[Jens Tingleff]

Howdy!

I was tinkering with XFree86 to get a Matrox Millenium G200 to work
(having given upo on controlfb :-( ) on a PMac 8500.

I rsync'ed the XFree86 pmac tree from penguinppc.org (this weekend), so
I have source lying around.

I get a core dump when the card is being set up (from XFree86
-probeonly) with a complaint about catching signal 11.

I compiled with -DDEBUG (and without -DNDEBUG ;-) ) and called XFRee86
with -verbose, but I didn't get any more info.

So, I wouldn't mind looking into this with GDB if there is a simple way
to do it.

How do I go about debugging? I have the GDB that came with LinuxPPC
2000 and a very recent GCC/GLIBC install off RPM.

Any information would help getting debugging information along to the
developers ;-)

Cheers
