My el-cheapo S3 Trio w/ 2 MB videoram is working fine, but another
card w/ 4 MB and the same chipset crashes XFree. Go figure. Also, for
some reason, the newest build of the S3 server (XFree86-S3-3.3.2-13)
doesn't work (complains about "missing screen" - XF86Config has not
been changed), so use 3.3.2-7 shippped with 5.1. (There should be no
security issues using the older X server package I guess, if "XFree86"
and "XFree86-libs" packages are upgraded?)
