If you can build from source, please try the attached patch.
its still there.
after applied patch,
i run 'make' in build dir,
then 'make install'.(keep previous build, i think this is enough,
isn't it? or should i run 'make World' again?)
It should have been sufficient to `make install` under
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/i740.
rebuild with gcc-3.3 ok.
could be problem of gcc-4.
Is this true without the patch?
yes.
w/ or w/o the patch both ok.
This doesn't sound good. You're certain you restarted the server between
`make install`'s?
Marc.
