Please add conditional code for 1.4 servers.
Comment 1 Brice Goglin 2008-07-04 17:36:21 UTC 
mariodebian@gmail.com reported that replacing:
 	mode = xf86GTFMode(p->HDisplay, p->VDisplay, v, 0, 0);
with
	mode = xf86CVTMode(p->HDisplay, p->VDisplay, v, FALSE, FALSE);
when building against Xserver 1.4 seems to solve the problem. It seems to work fine here too.
Comment 2 Paulo César Pereira de Andrade 2009-02-02 11:38:37 UTC 
  As Brice Goglin reported, it was possible
to use xf86CVTMode to correct the problem
for X Server 1.4.
  The solution used for Mandriva's packages,
before switching to X Server 1.5 or newer,
was to just revert the changes.

  Marking as WONTFIX as 1.4 should be no
longer the "mainstream" X Server for most/all
distros in "development state".
