I'm sure the version of XFree he's using (he said 4.0.1) probably doesn't
have support for that chip. A 'grep'ing of a recent XFree source tree
finds that PCI device ID as being for an S3 Twister/P, which is apparently
a Savage-family design. I don't know for sure, but I'm betting he will
have to move up to at least 4.1.0 (maybe the upcoming 4.2.0?) before it'll
work out of the box with XFree86.
