Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-driver-via

Edgy Knot2:

In Dapper I had to insert the option

Option "VBEModes" "true"

in the "Device" section of xorg.conf to get the via driver work with my card. Now with Edgy that doesn't help but there appears a black screen.

When I start a X session from a running X session, X throws an error message:

/usr/bin/X: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/via_drv.so: undefined symbol: assert

Xorg 7.1 should work with the via driver and my graphics card KN400, because in openSUSE 10.2alpha3 it works. At the moment I can only use vesa driver.

Maybe this problem is related to bug 21416:

I attach the X server log.
