I have the PCI problem here(486 isa/vlb/pci, trident 9680 on pci), and
upgrading to -2 didn't help at all. I didn't make it any worse, however.
Starting X(or XF86_SVGA), starts up, display some messages(up to the font
path), switches to tty7, tries to switch to graphics mode, and dies.
Now, all I have to do is switch to another tty, and the textmode is still
alright. Oh well.
How many people/cards have this problem? Might it not be critical?
