Yeah, the 2D driver is a tough one... I'm inclined to stick with the S3 one, because IMHO, I prefer its layout and coding style and it seems to have fixed some of the old issues with the xfree86 driver. It also has the ground work to support dualhead and some other features I'd like to add one day. But, like you said, it's probably not as well tested and may have other bugs. Unforunatly I don't have the hardware to test on at the moment. I suppose it's up to you or maybe Tim, on what to do with it, since you two are the ones actively working on/maintianing the driver.
