I had a report of a crash and it turned out to happen during the XVidMode initialization. What happened is that for some unknown reason XF86VidModeGetAllModeLines returned a single mode with a width and/or height of zero (htotal/vtotal). This caused a division by zero in convert_modeline.
Last time this happened, we considered this a bug in the X server, as under these circumstances, xvidtune also crashes.
Then will come the work of trying to reproduce the problem and see how best to deal with this server (XFree86-SVGA 4.1.0 apparently).
I don't think such a server exists. There's either XFree86 4.x with loadable driver modules, or there's XFree86-SVGA 3.x. The latter sounds more likely to have this kind of bug.
