Yes, it no longer segfaults. It goes past the point where it previously
crashed, but now I have a new error:

    (WW) R128(0): Static buffer allocation failed -- need at least 36864 kB video memory
    (II) R128(0): Filling in EXA memory info
    (II) R128(0): Setting up EXA callbacks
    (II) R128(0): Initializing 2D acceleration engine...
    (II) R128(0): Initializing EXA driver...
    (EE) EXA(0): ExaDriverRec::offScreenBase must be <= ExaDriverRec::memorySize
    (EE) R128(0): EXA Acceleration initialization failed.
    (II) R128(0): Acceleration disabled.
    (EE) R128(0): FBIOPUT_VSCREENINFO: Invalid argument
    (EE)
   Fatal server error:
    (EE) AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0

Is this something I can fix, or does modern Xorg just need more VRAM?

Thanks,
