Description:   Opened: 2006-04-17 19:35 0000 
xf86-video-via updated recently (thanks! :) ) but it was updated with a
critical bug, easily fixed.  Ebuild =x11-drivers/xf86-video-via-0.2.1 dies
during startx with a "symbol 'assert' not found" and in dying it leaves the
video card in a nonfunctional state.  To fix this problem, add:

#include <assert.h>

at the top of the file src/via_dri.c.  After that fix, everything works
"perfectly".  Someone with connections might push this upstream to the X11 via
driver developer too.

Created an attachment (id=84909) [details]
Photograph of screen without assert.h

I can confirm that. Without assert.h screen looks more or less like in the
attachment (on Acer Apire 1362, K8N800 based laptop), with assert included
works fine.

Please file this upstream at bugs.freedesktop.org in the xorg product. Make it
block bug #5041, and post the URL here.

Thanks!

Did a bit of searching and finally found this upstream so here's the url:

Hope this helps as it seams this fix is still not in gentoo's portage.

It's not there since no one had brought it to our attention yet :D  Thanks for
finding it.

Fixed in CVS.
