Sorry, it's been many months since I had to deal with an S3. I thought when I
did that the configuration step threw the confile over to /etc/X11/XF86Config
instead of XF86Config-4. Might be an idea to see if you have a XF86Config and
check out what it said in there.
I've been told by a guy who deals with much more legacy hardware than I do
that the vesa driver in XFree-4.1 does occasionally work with the S3Trio
chipset, it just never has for me.
Possibly you need to dpkg --configure xserver-s3 to get the correct confile
into use.
Anyway I see by your other post you got it going :)
