I've already done the new modular upgrade on several machines and they
all worked perfectly, except my main multi video card machine. I have
some older S3 Virge PCI video cards that aren't playing nice with the
new xorg.
In VIDEO_CARDS I have nvidia and s3virge, and the proper drivers are
being compiled and are in the correct locations. The nvidia drivers load
fine, but when the S3Virge is attempted, the screen goes black and I
can't recover without a hard reset. Here is last bit of the log:
(II) Loading sub module "vgahw"

That's where it stops. I've ssh-ed in and tried to kill X (which is
using 100% CPU) but I can never recover without a reset.
Any ideas?
