also.... if one disables DRI (naively hoping this will somewhat help)
machine fails to un-hibernate no matter what.

*sigh*.

p.s. i've did some more dumpster diving and i've got nvidia riva tnt2.
suprisingly it works fine (except 3d, as it's 'legacy' drivers do not
compile anymore, so using 'nv' driver)

p.s.2 - can't those non-functional cards being masked in portage?
as i smell that they will not be fixed anywhere in future...
it is a bit confusing to user when he gets stunning choice of
totally bitrot drivers...

also for users of those old devices - perhaps some
'good, old, and verified to work' Xorg/X11 builds overlay could be
handy?
i.e. the matrox card works fine (did not checked hibernation though,
but at least 3d works) with knoppix 6.2 (so not so long ago)
savage works with Xorg 1.4 (also with 3d...)
and stuff like riva tnt2 also had it's working Xorg+drivers pair
somewhere in history AFAIR.

this would make also bisecting to point where drivers got broken
esier, which would allow at least drawing some sketch TODO for brave
ones willing to fix the drivers in future...
