Since VESA is a generic frame buffer driver it will work with
almost any card, although not usually as well as a specific driver.

Perhaps the name of the driver for your card in X.org has changed from
Xfree86? Check out http://wiki.x.org/wiki/VideoDrivers for a list of which
chip-sets use which x.org drivers. I notice there are three different s3
drivers currently listed.

Good luck,
