 IIRC, the X server is trying to 0 out the colormap.  I got around this
 by just setting an enormous BlankTime (and I got paranoid w/ StandbyTime and
 SuspendTime as well):

Why not just set the timeout to 0, which disables the mode?

FBDev crashes

[Andre Berger]

I'm experiencing xserver-fbdev crashes of two types:

1. Fatal server error: fbdevUpdateColormap: FBIOPUTCMAP failed (Function
not implemented) 

2. Caught Signal 11

The problems seem to be screensaver-related. After about 10 minutes of
inactivity the server dies. 

My configuration: PowerBook 3400, potato

(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6300)

If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is
newer
than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting
problems.  (see http://www.XFree86.Org/FAQ)

Energy Star features (put screen on standby, suspend, etc.) are not
compatible with No Video Driver Checked -- If you try it, you will get
the error you listed in #1.
 
Try unchecking No Video Driver or disabling DPMS (energy saving) using
'xset -dpms'.
