What S3 card exactly? if you check http://www.xfree86.org/current/Status28.html, you'll find that only the S3 Trio3D, and Virge and Savage variants, are actually supported at all in XFree86 4.0.2. The drivers for earlier chips (such as Trio variants) have been ported from 3.3.6 yet. I checked your XFree86 log, and it's telling me that it's treating your card as a generic VGA card, hence the 64K of RAM and 320x240 pixel screen. I'm pretty certain this is because your chipset isn't supported in 4.0.2. However, you can still install and use 3.3.6 X servers (apt-get install xserver-svga), though I think this takes some fiddling. Thanks Leigh
