Hello all

First of all a happy new year to you all.

I have the following problem with X and the alpha 1.3 release. The program
x11perf crashes every time I start it with the option -srect1 (1 x 1 stippled
rectangle (8 x 8 stipple) ).

=== START OUTPUT

On the console appears the following message:
Error with parameters: b, 4f, efbfb7b8

Fatal server error:
Memory Fault

=== END OUTPUT

In the /var/log/messages file are the following lines added:

=== START /VAR/LOG/MESSAGES

=== END /VAR/LOG/MESSAGES

I have run this program also on the computer of a friend of mine and there it does not
crash and behaves well. There are two differences between his and mine computer:

	His					Mine
1	installed fresh RiscBsd system from     Manualy updated from 1.2
        AW 97 cd release			to AW 97 cd release
2	40 +2 Mb RAM				20 + 2 Mb RAM

I have tested my system also with just 16Mb RAM (+ 2MB VRAM). I tried the
(only) RAM module in both RAM slots but this did not made any differences,
besides I never experienced problems with my RAM. I also did run x11perf with
the 1.2 release (some time ago) and this work fine.

I have removed the old X11 and binaries so I am almost 100% sure I have a
genuine 1.3 alpha version

I use a SA RPC with the fvwm window manager.

I hope you can help me with this problem.
