Hello all!

I did a upgrade from XF4.0.3 to XF4.1 and experienced a server-crash
with message:
(EE)R128(0): Cannot read V_BIOS (5)

Short characteristic of my box Apple G4 with 17" Apple CRT, Rage 128 
with 16MB Video-RAM,
running Woody (Kernel Benh 2.4.8-ben0 with no DRI and apgart), gcc 2.95.4, 
until yesterday XF4.0.3 with similar XF86Config.

Relevant part of XF86Config-4 is:
