I realise that there are some problems with the new modular xorg in unstable at the moment, but I have a small dilema which seems to be different from the ones already discussed on this forum.
I have a sacrificial machine which I upgrade each morning to the latest level on unstable. It is a very old machine (and old IBM 750-P90 but with an Evergreen 400MHz go faster processor in it. It is slow, but does the job. It has an S3 86C864 chip for driver the screen, which was handled by the old S3 driver back in XFree 3.x days. Up until this most recent version of xorg I have been able to use the old 3.x driver and as long as I configured it in XF86Config I was OK. With this latest set of upgrades the old driver was removed, and there are references to xserver-xorg-video-s3 as a package, which is supposed to provide support for old s3 chips, hopefully including mine. But the xserver-xorg-video-s3 package only seems to include the /usr/share/doc/xserver-xorg-video-s3 directory and its changelog and a copyright. No driver. According to packages.debian.org the actual drivers are in xserver-xorg, but that is only a tiny little package with no video drivers. But that list is out of date (April 5) so I guess it may be that the packages may have been reocrganised. One clue to this is that it lists the files as being in /usr/X11R6/lib/modules where actually the drivers are now in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers. So does anyone know what has happened to the S3 driver, whether it is supposed to be there, and if so whether there is a special package I need to install to find it.
