Would help to get a true backtrace make sure avivo is build with
-g3 cflags and run xserver under gdb and provide bt output and
relevant print of value (like printing out what value is
avivo->lfp_fixed_mode in avivo_output_lfp_get_modes).

Btw it seems that it fails in some xserver function called
byavivo_output_lfp_get_modes either xf86DeleteMode or
xf86DuplicateMode, i did not check that this last function check
for NULL mode ptr maybe this that.

best,
