Thank you Bartosz and Xavier,

X is working again for me.

I used Bartosz suggestion and remove    ViaPreInitCRTCConfig(pScrn) from the
file.  Funny there was a comment above it.

/* Might not belong here temporary fix for bug fix */
  /*  ViaPreInitCRTCConfig(pScrn); */

I should have grepped that string when I saw the message.  Next time i will
do so.

Thanks so much,

Antonio
