I am attempting to get BL3 to run on an AST Ascentia 950N notebook. 
Every time I starts or Run Xvesa I get a segmentation violation.

Here are results of some tests;

startx
results in a black screen and the following errors;

_X11TransSocketINETConnect: Can't connect: errorno = 111
<repeat 18 times>
MENU: cannot open display
swm: cannot open display , giving up

Xvesa -list modes

VBE version 1.2 (Cirrus Logic GD-7543 VGA)
DAC is switchable, controller is VGA compatible
Total memory: 960 kilobytes

Xvesa -verbose

Results in a black Screen and the following output

Mode Requested 640x480x4
  0x00012: 640x480x4 Planar (4 planes) (no linear frame buffer)
  Static Color bpp 4 depth 4
Mode Selected 640x480x4
Previous modes: VBE 0x3 BIOS 0x3
Enable Bios mode 0x12
Segmentation Fault.

Can someone tell me what version of Xvesa is in BL3, and where it came from?
