Comment 1 Richard Schaal 2002-05-30 17:51:48 UTC 
I looked into this further - there is a #define DEBUG in the file 
xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/cirrus/alp_xaam.c 
that should be disabled for the next build.
Comment 2 Mike A. Harris 2002-05-30 21:56:36 UTC 
Indeed.  Someone must have been on crack to leave that enabled.  Funny that
nobody noticed it at XFree86.org or reported it until now.  I'll patch it
for our next build.

Thanks.
Comment 3 Mike A. Harris 2002-05-30 22:01:52 UTC 
Applied to 4.2.0-50.12 in rawhide.
