Hmm. I guess xgalaga passes some garbage in via xf86vidmode which
the ddx doesn't validate before passing it on to the kernel. So far
I can't reproduce the problem here unfortnately.

Can you try the following patch and reproduce the problem with
drm.debug=0xe passed to the kernel so that we can seewhat the bad
modeline looks like?

Print put the modeline When we reject a user mode.
