So it appears to be a S3 problem.


Egbert's last comment, #25, suggests building only the servers.

If I applied the patch to the XFree86 SRPM, can I limit the build to
only the servers easily?

If I build the whole thing, what would I need to send bbb, to get the
change? I expect just the vesa driver, but not at all sure.

One other question, any know/suspected problems with compilers.
He's on RHL9, probably up to date on patches, but my box is a
hodge-podge of RHL9, FC1, 2.6 kernels, and other stuff.

gcc-3.2.2-5, glibc-2.3.2-27.9.7

Any other packages I should check for version issues?
