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.

This bug has been marked as "wontfix" for a while, and I don't think it
is worth keeping it open. So as part of cleaning the BTS, I am just
closing it.

Cheers
Brice
