What S3 card exactly? if you check
http://www.xfree86.org/current/Status28.html, you'll find that only the
S3 Trio3D, and Virge and Savage variants, are actually supported at all
in XFree86 4.0.2. The drivers for earlier chips (such as Trio variants)
have been ported from 3.3.6 yet.
I checked your XFree86 log, and it's telling me that it's treating your
card as a generic VGA card, hence the 64K of RAM and 320x240 pixel
screen. I'm pretty certain this is because your chipset isn't supported
in 4.0.2. However, you can still install and use 3.3.6 X servers
(apt-get install xserver-svga), though I think this takes some fiddling.
Thanks
