Re: XFree for S3 86c765?
I don't know much about the chipset numbers, but the chipset looks
familiar...
You might want to check if his video card is the S3 ViRGe chip. The
latest lease of XFree86 (ver 3.2) contains the driver for this card.
Make sure you get the X_S3V server for installation.
Hope this is of some help.
