Re[2]: ATI RageXL video controller problem

I've suffered the same thing. 
I  updated  the following packages:
             XFree86-4.2.0-67.6.ia64.rpm
             XFree86-base-fonts-4.2.0-67.6.ia64.rpm
             XFree86-font-utils-4.2.0-67.6.ia64.rpm
             XFree86-xauth-4.2.0-67.6.ia64.rpm
             XFree86-xfs-4.2.0-67.6.ia64.rpm
and  fixed the executable-stack with the code as the following,  then it  works!

but i don't know how to send these packages to u,and i've forget where it downloaded:-) 

steps:
#rpm -Uvh *.rpm
#gcc patch.c
#./a.out  - -executable-stack  /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86
#startx

/*save it  as patch.c*/
/*patch code begin*/
