Bug#178600: xfree86: Support for the S3Trio64V2

Yes, well the thing is that the patch is only a couple of defines and an if
sentence. It works by allowing the 64V2 work like the other trios and
setting the maximun clocks allowed (set using the values we've seen on X
3.3.6, we don't have data for this), we have not written any special code
for the card as we don't have the specs, that is why I call it dummy ;-)

Yep, I'm running 4.2.1-5 patched with this on one of our servers, it seems
to work quite well.

I don't think it will break anything, but I don't know the Xfree internals,
we just put in the necesary stuff for it to work on this cards. And yes, I
suppose you are gonna have to rely on the community for the testing.
