Could you please give us more details about "S3Virge support sucks" ? I
have changed  S3Virge on 10 PWS 433/500au for the original TGA PowerStorm
(S3V eventually freezes X, TGA does not but TGA crashes X when I try to
run Emacs and Xmgr). I was considering return to S3Virge to test 4.1 when I got your
message.
