X : caught signal 11 ?

[P. Barrette]

Hollis,
I have the platinumfb too (7200), and I read your message, tried it and
bang, x
was down.  I recompiled the kernel with the new driver (I didn't get it
from your site it was mailed to me) and it is ok now.  I never had this
problem before with fvwm and accel X , maybe it is a Xpmac & the driver?
