Re: My Video card does'nt work ?
That information helps quite a bit.
See: http://www.xfree86.org/4.0.1/Status.html, which says:
3.3.6: Support (accelerated) for the S3 911, 924, 801, 805, 928, 864,
868, 964, 968, Trio32, Trio64, Trio64V+, Trio64UV+, Aurora64V+,
Trio64V2, PLATO/PX is provided by the XF86_S3 server and the
XF86_SVGA server with the s3_svga driver. Support (accelerated)
for the ViRGE, ViRGE/VX, ViRGE/DX, ViRGE/GX, ViRGE/GjX2,
ViRGE/MX, ViRGE/MX+ is provided by the XF86_S3V server. Support
(accelerated) for those ViRGE chips, as well as the Trio3D and
Trio3D/2X is provided by the XF86_SVGA server with the s3v
driver. Support (accelerated) for the Savage3D, Savage3D/MV,
Savage4, Savage2000, Savage/MX-MV, Savage/MX, Savage/IX-MV and
Savage/IX is provided by the XF86_SVGA server with the
s3_savage driver (CHECK: is this support Linux-only?).
4.0.1:
Support (accelerated) for the ViRGE, ViRGE/VX, ViRGE/DX,
ViRGE/GX, ViRGE/GX2, ViRGE/MX, ViRGE/MX+, Trio3D and Trio3D/2X
is provided by the "s3virge" driver. Support for the other S3
chipsets has not yet been ported.
In other words, if you are running XFree86 version 3.3.6 install
xserver-svga and if you are running version 4.0.1, install
xserver-xfree86. I don't have XF86Setup on my system, so I don't know
exactly what it is called there, but that will hopefully be obvious.
