My poor little 512k vga struggles with this :-)
Any way, disabling the trap handling code (and rebuilding with debug
enabled) gives a stack dump containing all of:
fLineBres:.writeloopC (its in fastcfbBresS())
Unfortunatly the source to this isn't part of the `server' kit so I
can't easily get any further. Is there an ftp'ble source tree of the
XFree86 code any where?
Hope someone finds this, Andrew
PS: For the record. For me it occures on a 512k 8900c card and i've
set `NoFastMode'.
