'freq' util for Stealth core dumps under SLS 1.03

'freq' util for Stealth core dumps under SLS 1.03

Under the SLS release prior to 1.03, which used the 0.99p9 kernel,
I had X working perfectly with my Diamond Stealth VGA.  I used the XS3-0.4.4
server and 'freq' (found in diamond.taz at sunsite.unc.edu
/pub/Linux/X11/X-servers) to set the clock.

I upgraded to SLS 1.03, and re-installed XS3-0.4.4, and everything still works
fine, except for 'freq'.  It core dumps, apparently when the utility
attempts to access the video card registers.  Why?  And how can this
be fixed?
