[Xorg] xserver undefined symbol: BuiltinRegisterFpefunctions

[Cameron]

I have exactly the same trouble. What video card and kernel are you running? 
I was wondering if it was 2.6 related because when it seemed to work before, I 
was running 2.4. Though I haven't tried 2.4 again.

Here is the response I got:

"It probably has something to do with your VESA bios not responding 
correctly when queried for modes. I have the same issue with an entirely 
unrelated video card, and traced it down to the VESA mode enumeration 
function. Since almost all of the KDrive drivers use VESA for 
initialization on some level, a card with a slightly-different BIOS 
than the VESA routines expect causes a hang.

I still don't have a fix though, mainly due to time constraints. Once, the 
VESA routines worked after several sleep/wake cycles on a laptop, as if 
some random register got set to the right value, but I couldn't reproduce 
it.
