Pablo,

I see exactly the same problem that you describe. I just didn't look
into it because it doesn't really bother me. I use 1024x768 in X and
also on the text console via vesafb because screen stretching looks
really ugly.

We should probably get in touch with Tim Roberts who maintains the
savage 2D driver in order to get a nicely working 2D driver that also
supports DRI and maybe some other nice features in the S3 driver.
