When I run xorg with s3 driver, screen goes blank (monitor turns off) and doesn't turn on until reboot. I can switch to console and reboot computer from there (writing blind). When I run xorg with vesa driver it segfaults with following backtrace: Backtrace: 0: Xorg(xf86SigHandler+0x74) [0x80bca74] 1: [0xb7f12420] 2: /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libfb.so(fbOddTile+0xd6) [0xb7af2b16] 3: /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libfb.so(fbTile+0x55) [0xb7af2bb5] 4: /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libfb.so(fbFillRegionTiled+0x164) [0xb7af33c4] 5: /usr/lib/xorg/modules//libfb.so(fbPaintWindow+0xce) [0xb7af364e] 6: Xorg [0x814becf] 7: Xorg(miWindowExposures+0x274) [0x8103d34] 8: Xorg(MapWindow+0x20e) [0x8072bee] 9: Xorg(InitRootWindow+0xe6) [0x8072e26] 10: Xorg(main+0x43a) [0x806e5da] 11: /lib/libc.so.6(__libc_start_main+0xc9) [0xb7cab869] 12: Xorg(FontFileCompleteXLFD+0xb5) [0x806d961] Fatal server error: Caught signal 11.

*** Bug 176586 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
I'm now using xorg-server 1.2.0.0 with an s3 trio in a xinerama setup and works.
also applies to x11-base/xorg-server-1.1.1-r4 version of drivers: x11-drivers/xf86-video-vesa-1.2.1 x11-drivers/xf86-video-s3-0.4.1 I'm going to try other versions if there are any
What about upgrading to Xorg 1.3.0 ? Does that help ?
My s3trio is dead, so I can't proof :( I think this bug need to be closed. Now I run a s3virge with xorg-server-1.4 and work perfectly even with EXA enable ;) The only problem I have is the mouse problem with xinerama enable, but this is a know bug of xorg-server.
(In reply to comment #8) > What about upgrading to Xorg 1.3.0 ? Does that help ? I won't be in reach of that machine till the end of month. I will try upgrading Xorg when I get to it, but personally I think the card is simply broken.
Well, if you can reproduce with 1.3.0 or newer, please reopen.
