RE: S3, S3V, or XF86_SVGA server
I'd be interested in any variants of the XF86_SVGA server for Savage cards
that you've got ... X Windows is saying that I'm running a unrecognised S3
chipset ... then defaults to VGA server @ 640x480 ....

Hmmmm, guess you're right on that. I was running a Savage4-based card in
my system some weeks ago, and it only worked well with the SVGA server. We
also tried that on a laptop system with Savage4 onboard and had severe
problems there both running XF 3.3.6 or one of the S4-modified servers (as
XF86_S3SAV by Creative which happens to be a patched XF3.3.3-SVGA-server)
and, finally, got the machine working fine there with framebuffer support
and the Framebuffer-X-Server... :))

Kris
