[Bug 267606] x11-drivers/xf86-video-nv: Segmentation Fault post update from 1.20.14,1 to 21.1.4

--- Comment #50 from Sergiy <[email protected]> ---
Thank you all!
I am not giving up on further attempts to understand what happened to my
Toshiba Satellite A200-1GS after the update (2022.10.10):
..
xorg-server: 1.20.14,1 -> 21.1.4_1,1
..
xf86-video-nv: 2.1.21_4 -> 2.1.21_5
but it was at this stage that something happened.

The source code of xf86-video-nv has hardly changed significantly since then.
The open source nv Xenocara module also almost matches xf86-video-nv-2.1.22,
but it works on OpenBSD with this laptop. 
As well as xf86Mode.c in xorg-servers and Xenocara did not change.

There were no hardware changes, it's the same Toshiba Satellite A200-1GS...
I see (from my notes) that my attempts to find something, I don't know what,
are going in more than one circle. Yes, I lack knowledge.... Sorry.

Given the fact that the xf86-video-nv driver still works fine for many and is
the driver of last resort for some PCs, I'm aware of the implications of
changing it.

Surprisingly, I tried to change the hardware of my Toshiba Satellite A200-1GS
to some extent - I connected a Dell SP2208WFP monitor through the laptop's VGA
connector.
And startx without any configuration files in xorg.conf.d and I got native for
this monitor - 1680x1050 in TWM:

xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default 
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 1680 x 1050

   684x384       60.00   
   640x400       60.00   
   576x432       75.00   
   640x360       60.00   
   512x384       75.00    70.00    60.00

   432x243       60.00   
   320x240       75.00    73.00    60.00 

So the driver xf86-video-nv-2.1.22 works without problems on this laptop but
with a different monitor. 

Why with native monitor I get:
..
[    34.107] (II) NV(0): Not using default mode "1280x800" (bad mode
clock/interlace/doublescan) 
[    34.107] xf86InitialCheckModeForDriver(0x83413aa00, 0x834186280 (null),
0x8340a07e0, 0x1, 4080, 0, 0) 
[    34.107] xf86CheckModeForMonitor(0x834186280 (null), 0x83412c1c0 <default
monitor>) 
[    34.107] (EE) Segmentation fault at address 0x0 
[    34.107] (EE) 
Fatal server error: 
[    34.107] (EE) Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting
..

Whereas on OpenBSD the same monitor:
..
[    22.555] (II) NV(0): Not using default mode "1280x800" (bad mode
clock/interlace/doublescan) 
[    22.555] (II) NV(0): Virtual size is 1280x800 (pitch 1280)
..

And the same driver with a Dell monitor:
..
[    37.869] (II) NV(0): Virtual size is 1680x1050 (pitch 1680)
..

I can not understand...
