Hi,

I'm having problems with fbdev driver after updating xorg-server from 1.20.1-1 to 1.20.2-1. In 1.20.1-1, I can start the server without any major o minor problems, but, when updated to 1.20.2-1, the server fail to start with "(EE) Diveice(s) detected, but none match those in the config file." and "(EE) No screen foubd", but I'm sure that I have the screen configured en my xorg.conf file. I actually downgraded to 1.20.1-1.

Logs and config file in attach.

Note: xorg.conf was generated by "X -configure"

Additional info:
* xorg-server with problems: 1.12.2-1
* lastest xorg-server that works: 1.12.1-1
* xf86-video-fbdev version: 0.5.0-1
* uname -a: Linux ATENAS 4.18.14-arch1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Oct 13 13:42:37 UTC 2018 x86_64 GNU/Linux
* lspci | grep VGA: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. CN896/VN896/P4M900 [Chrome 9 HC] (rev 01)

Note 2: I'm not using the openchrome drive because it was impossible for me start a server with that driver. Same for modesetting (/dev/dri/card0 don't exist in my /dev folder). Vesa drive show a weird screen tearing. Fbdev is the unique driver that work for me.

Steps to reproduce:
* Update to xorg-server 1.12.1-1 to 1.12.2-1
* Run xinit or startx
   xorg.conf (1.8 KiB)
   Xorg.1.log-1.20.1-1 (17.8 KiB)
   Xorg.0.log-1.20.2-1 (6 KiB)
This task depends upon

1. What happens when you delete the xorg.conf file? Will the X server start then?
2. I needed to add iomem=relaxed to the kernel command line to use the Openchrome driver, so it could be worth a try.
