That seems to give a working X, but even geeqie (the picture viewer) is
noticably slower. There is no XV and GL via software (llvmpipe).

UXA brings back XV but not GL (but that wasn't available anyway, it
seems). And it crashes too. /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old has a backtrace
(not very useful though):

That is almost the same as for the default accelleration; it has address
0x7d4ba71d0000. Although maybe that's a data address, not a program
address.
Option "AccelMethod" "SNA" also doesn't work; it gives a black
screen with a cursor. There are also complaints about "heartbeat rcs0
heartbeat {prio:-2147483645} not ticking" and the rest of the dump, just
like with the modesetting driver.
Option "AccelMethod" "XAA" works except it also crashes with the
image viewer.
Did I ever mention how much I hate people who make graphics hardware and
their drivers so horrible? There is a special place in hell for them,
right next to the "domain parking".
