I'm afraid I managed to fool most people here. Your (Tom's that is)
XF68_FBDev gives the same symptoms as the rest, now that I've managed
to force it to occur.
Forcing it is a simple 3 step method, involving netscape.
1. Start X
2. Start netscape
3. Switch to console _before_ netscape opens a window.
It will now crash the X server on my Lombard if acceleration
is active. I have no other machines capable of acceleration
to test this on, so I don't know if it happens to others too.
