Hi,
I had a problem with S3 cards too. The way I solved it was to use the S3
server, but to turn off the acceleration that the driver has. There isn't an
parameter to do this in the lts.conf file so, make your own xf86config file
and put this line in the lts.conf file: XF86CONFIG_FILE = XF86Config.wsxx.
XF86Config.wsxx is the name of your custom xf86config file and wsxx is the
name of the workstation with the s3 card. I hope this helps.
Chris
XF86Config
