No X with X.Org X Server 1.13.* and SiS video driver

Description

Since X.Org X Server 1.13.0 (and now using 1.13.2), X segfaults when trying to start it while using the SiS video driver. Vesa driver works fine. SiS video driver is version 0.10.7

Finding bug 35763 helped me to find a better workaround than using the Vesa driver:

adding

Option "NoAccel" "true"

to the Section "Device" about SiS in /etc/X11/xorg.conf made the SiS driver usable again.

Of course, the best solution would be if someone would fix bug 35763 :)
