Bug#374059: xserver-xorg-video-s3: missing man page: /usr/share/man/man4/s3.4.gz

[Jeffrey Sheinberg <jeff@bsrd.net>]

Package: xserver-xorg-video-s3
Version: 1:0.3.5.4-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

Since xfree86 4.x never supported many of the various s3 chipsets
properly, I would expect a man page for xserver-xorg-video-s3 to
document which chipsets are now supported, as well as which config
file options are supported.

IOW, a normal server man page is needed for this driver.

I am not about to upgrade my system, since such an upgrade is a
one way street, until I have some confidence that my chipset (968
with IBM 526 Ramdac) is now supported.

There is however, much hope from the driver's binary text found in
the *.deb file,

    $ strings ./usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/s3_drv.so | grep 526
    IBMramdac526SetBppWeak
    IBMramdac526SetBppWeak
    IBMramdac526CalculateMNPCForClock


Thanks,
