Well, im not sure, this is the same video card i have used in my old 
computer, all that has changed is a faster motherboard and cpu.  However, I 
also had to change my XF86Config file to have option "nolinear" in order for 
X to run without crashing.  Im thinking my video card is just too old for 
todays hardware (S3 generic), I will search around the internet and see if I 
can find a solution.
