The original message was a bit more specifci than this, referring to an "S3Trio64v+ video card" ... but that identifier is for a chip, not a card, and the X documentation (at www.xfree86.org) says that the current S3 server works only for S3Trio64v+ video cards that use specific RAMDAC chips. So it *could* still be a hardware compatibility issue.
