Hi, I have a S3 Virge/MX chipset in my system, so I happened to read through the XFree site about that recently. In the section on the 3.3.6 server, on page: http://www.XFree.org/3.3.6/S3V1.html#1 they say this: "1. Supported hardware Since release 3.3.2 of XFree86, there are now two servers which support the ViRGE family of chips. The XF86_S3V server is a dedicated server which supports the S3 ViRGE (86C325), the ViRGE/DX (86C375), ViRGE/GX (86C385) and the ViRGE/VX (86C988) chips. Use of that server is no longer recommended. It is not actively being supported anymore. The above ViRGE chipsets are supported in the XF86_SVGA server, which includes a new ViRGE driver making use of the XAA acceleration architecture and also supports ViRGE/GX2 (86C357), ViRGE/MX (86C260), Trio3D (86C365), Trio3D/2X (86C362), Savage3D (86C391), Savage4 (86C396/86C397) and Savage2000 chips as of 3.3.6." On that basis, it seems the XF86_SVGA server is the right one for the Savage chips, and it looks as though the XF86_S3V server is obsolete. regards, Bret
