First, I would use Xconfigurator --preferxf4, and thus use the newer X version 4. The problem is that you only have one X server installed, and the S3 virge requires a different one. Thus, you must install the other server (XFree86-S3V-3.3.6*) to get it to work with XFree86 version 3 (and use Xconfigurator --preferxf3 or just Xconfigurator).
