For S3Trio chipsets
apt-get install xserver-s3

or for S3Virge
apt-get install xserver-s3v

I think that its only the Trio chipset driver that's broken in Woody (Version 
4.1), so the first option is probably what you need.

I'm in this thread late so I hope I'm not talking at cross purposes.

And BTW, the vesa driver does work for S3Trio in Version 4.2 eg Knoppix 3.2.
