Compiling Xorg with GCC4 apparently results in a messed-up video driver for certain hardware (like mine, for example). It seems "libvgahw.a" has a problem that causes all the other consoles on my system to go blank when X starts. I see that there is a fix for it - I keep seeing referencs to "030_libvgahw_gcc4_volatile_fix.diff" that should fix the problem but all I can find on Google is a bunch of changelog entries and mailinglist messages and a couple of references to downloading a fixed, precompiled libvgahw.a file - I can't find the actual source code patch file anywhere.
