I have been having a problem with the tdfx server in 4.1.0 (and with the
server in the latest DRI trunk) - on occasion changing the resolution
(either through Ctrl+Alt++/- or through some app changing the resolution)
causes the server to crash. This is an occasional occurrence, and I have
found it impossible to reproduce this when I want to. XFree86.0.log shows
nothing. After the crash the text console or the framebuffer
console )whichever I am using) will be corrupted and I need to reboot to fix
them, although X will restart and display correctly (and probably will *not*
crash again if I change resolutions). Other than occasionally crashing when
changing resolutions, I find the server rock-solid.

This is on Red Hat 7.1 or 7.2, with the Red Hat RPMs or my own
built-from-scratch 4.1.0 or DRI trunk. Hardware is a Voodoo 5 5500 on an MSI
K7T Turbo-R (VIA KT133A chipset) with an Athlon Thunderbird 900MHz.

Anyone have any ideas - at least some way I can get more information from
the next crash to send to the list.
Thanks!
