I'm using an S3 Trio32 video card. The XFree86 documentation says it's fully
supported, and it has always worked before with XFree86 3.x release and
earlier. Furthermore, I noticed someone had the same exact problem on a
different machine with a Diamond Stealth video card.

Any help on how to debug the problem would be greatly appreciated. I've got
a core dump, but don't know where to begin, or how useful it might be
without symbols. Any help?-
