Summary MESS-specific 05567: ct486: Starting XFree86 with the "svga_dm" graphics card crashes MESS
Description When I start XFree86 3.1.1 (Slackware 2.2) using the "svga_dm" (Diamond SpeedStar Pro SE) graphics card in isa1, some corrupted graphics are displayed then MESS crashes with the following stack crawl:

Steps To Reproduce - Run MESS using the "svga_dm" card in isa1
- Install Slackware 2.2 on either ct486 or at486
- use xf86config to create a configuration file for X11 (The SpeedStar Pro SE is number 33 in the graphics card list)
- start X11 with "startx"
Additional Information The command line I used:
mess64 -w ct486 -hard HDImg\PC_AT_Slackware22.chd -board3:ide:ide:1 cdrom -ramsize 8M -isa1 svga_dm

 Have committed a fix for this (r30205), seems to fix any crashing for me, at least. Please check on your own setup, if you are able to.

You don't say what X11 server you specified, but the recommended XF86_SVGA still doesn't display correctly, it likely uses some of the unimplemented CLGD-5430 features. The standard 16 colour VGA X server should work though.

 It looks like svga_dm doesn't implement any of the CLGD-5430 specific features yet other than the pci id and VGA.

 I did use XF86_SVGA and it no longer crashes with SVN.
