Bug#362718: xserver-xorg-video-s3: driver lacks support for 88c864 chip
Package: xserver-xorg-video-s3
Version: 1:0.3.5.4-3
Severity: important
I used to use the S3 driver from XFree86 3.x when running XFree86 4.x
and xorg 6.x, but that no longer seems possible with 7.x. So I tried
to use the S3 driver that comes with 7.x, and that does not seem to
recognise the 88c864 chip. Using strings the nearest I can find is
the 964 chips, not the 864. As the machine I am running on (an old
IBM 750 does not seem to be supported by the Vesa driver either, this
only leaves the VGA driver, and even that does not work properly on
this chip.
Yes this is a very old machine, but it does serve a useful purpose
and it would be really useful if the 864 chip support could be
included in this driver.
