commit e28986aef13129cc22001f0a99c025548bb45659

    VIAFreeRec will be called from VIAFreeScreen
    
    Prior to commit 870d3c7, VIAFreeRec function was being called prior
    to the check to see if calling vgaHWFreeHWRec is necessary.
    Unfortunately, this check was referencing DDX's private storage area
    after it was freed by the call to VIAFreeRec function. This was
    leading to a segmentation fault during the X Server shutdown. In order
    to remedy this, the call to VIAFreeRec function was removed by commit
    870d3c7. However, according to XFree86 DDX Design document
    (ddxDesign.pdf), VIAFreeRec function is expected to be called from
    VIAFreeScreen callback function. Not doing so very likely will lead to
    memory leak, hence, VIAFreeRec function will now be called from
    VIAFreeScreen callback function, but after vgaHWFreeHWRec is called.
