After upgrading from 3.1.2E to 3.1.2F, my X server no longer works. This is the Mach64 server, and the graphics card is the ATI ProTurbo. I'm running the FreeBSD-2.1.5 version of 3.1.2F, on a 2.2-960612-SNAP system. (Yes, I *know* that my system isn't 2.1.5, and thus obviously no guarantees, but the 3.1.2E version of the Mach64 server, which was for FreeBSD-2.0.5, worked just fine on 2.2-960612-SNAP - until the date ran out...) The error message I'm getting is: Xalloc warning: Xalloc(<0) ignored.. Xalloc error: Tail corrupt in Xfree() for small block (adr=0x2d5090, val=0x6d6f522f) PEXExtensionInit: Couldn't open default PEX font file Roman_MXalloc error: header corrupt in Xrealloc() :-( Fatal server error: Caught signal 11. Server aborting The full output from the X server startup is given below. Note that this error seems to be specific to the Mach64 server - I'm running the 3.1.2F SVGA server with a Cirrus CL-GD5430 card on another 2.2-960612-SNAP system, and I have no problems there.
