that's odd... I'm using XF86_SVGA on my really-really-current laptop
and it's okay...

Someone suggested to me that this was a side-effect of the change of
where the i386 kernel is located (it's now at address 0xc0000000 instead
of 0xf0000000).  I'm having a hard time believing that, but considering
how disgusting XF86 is on the inside, I suppose anything is possible.

Where there any other errors, like failure to open /dev/mem?  Is your
XF86_SVGA binary setuid-0?  Are you using the Xwrapper thingie?
