Hi,
I'd an S3 Trio3D2x AGP 86C362 graphic card and was working fine on hamm
with an older XF68_FBdev X server.
Yesterday, I upgraded my machine to slink and downloaded xserver-svga
and xserver-fbdev packages.
Xfree86 web site says I should use SVGA X server: well i'm unable to
get it to work. When I launch SVGA X server my monitor get darked with
no chance to go back to console(just ctrl+alt+del). The output it's:

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)

Section "Screen" on XF86Config it's just like on Documentation.
My console it's with 1024x768x{16, I think}
What should I do ?
I think I've more chances on XF86_FBDev meanwhile I don't know what to
do.
Thanks for your help.
