Mine is s3 Virge/VX 86C988 - sounds slightly different somehow. And which version of XFree and what xserver did you use? I used Sid's XFree - 4.2.1.1. I got a working display on a different s3 card - the Trio 64v+ - under 4.2.1.1, but only by using the vesa xserver (the s3 xserver, which is supposed to work for that card, would not cooperate).
