>Description:
I just upgraded this machine from 4.0.1 to 5.0.1 thus switched over from 
XFree86 X11R6 to xorg X11R7.  To configure my X server, I used "X -configure," 
moved the /root/xorg.conf.new to /etc/X11/xorg.conf and tried to start xdm.  
The screen went blank and I could not get it to come back, not even switching 
to other virtual terminals.  I went to another machine and sshed in.  Just 
running X showed the following output:

/usr/X11R7/lib/modules/drivers//tdfx_drv.so: Undefined PLT symbol 
"TDFXDRIScreenInit" (symnum = 162)

I checked my old X11R6 X server configuration file and it said it was using the 
same driver (tdfx).

To work around the problem, I'm putting a different video display adapter in 
the PC but I'd like to eventually switch it back.  Of course, I can put this 
card in another machine for testing, if necessary.
>How-To-Repeat:
In a system with a Voodoo 3 video card in it, try running the X server.
