I pulled the patches, I then pulled the source for the xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion-1.7.6 , applied the patch and built the deb package on the lemote, installed the deb, rebooted, it stops with the blinking text cursor. I have attached my log output. I'm not sure where to go from there, any pointers would be helpful, I'm willing to learn and test more.


(file #37163)

I tested again, and this time I noticed that it's Wget that segfaults as well.
I have attached a image showing the error.

There is a package that causes gNewSense not to show the graphical login or desktop after installation.

The only way to solve it that I currently know of is to manually remove the package named:
xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion
after install.

I tested this on a Lemote Longsoon mipsel laptop.

I know this issue is in regular Debian as well.
There was some patches floating around, but I have not tested them yet.

There are links to patches here:
https://wiki.debian.org/DebianYeeloong/HowTo/Install
(search for xserver-xorg-video-siliconmotion on this page).

I can do more testing if needed.
But until we have it working I think the package should be removed from the default install if possible.
