Of course, the existance of a bug doesn't mean it will ever be fixed...
My old graphics card (mach64 variant) worked badly with xfree86 4.x
(whereas it worked fine with 3.x). There was a debian bug for the
problem, and it had been reported upstream I think, but probably wasn't
important enough for anybody to pay attention to...
[Eventually my solution was to buy a new cheapo gfx card -- I found one
that's also long "obsolete" but much better supported by modern X, and
it only cost me $5 (brand new)...]
