This is because I have other cards that look just like this one that I've used in other machines. Under XFree 3.3.6 (the Debian I use now has XFree 4.2.1) the s3 xserver powered that card just fine. This is what leads me to conclude that the xserver has gotten buggy in subsequent versions. I suppose the other possibility is that these s3Trio64v+ cards could look almost identical, could have identifying marks printed on them indicating they are s3Trio64v+'s, but actually be quite different on the hardware level. But it's all pretty much guesswork for those of us who do not write drivers and/or develop manufacturing standards.
