Aaah... yes, that would have helped. I figured there had to be an
option like that. My mistake was to go looking for an environment
variable and not for a command line option. Next time, I'll just write

OK. With the new XFree86 binary it can't load the r128 driver:

(EE) R128(0): Cannot read V_BIOS (4)

I'm attaching the whole log, as well as my config file.
