Hi Xperts!

I bought a Compaq EVO n115 some time ago, and I just felt like
exchanging this ***** Windows XP Home with a little bit more powerful
GNU/Linux and - of course - XFree86 ;).

Just everything went fine until I came to configuring XFree86.

It was even impossible for me to startup the graphical configuration
system.

Every time I launched X it told me I have a S3 card but XF86 can't
recognize the CARD ID (i.e. unsupported card).

When I later installed XP Home again :( I can see in Windows that the
card is referred to as "S3 Graphics Twister K Compaq".

A few days ago I have to call the Compaq support, as my laptop used to
overheat and turn off after some hours of work (less than 5). I referred
my problem to him - without expecting any proper answer ;) - about the
missing driver for XF86 for the S3 Card/Chip. This guy was funnily
enough amused by my problem as the specs showed him, that they do not
deliver S3 cards with their evo n115 laptops. The specs says I (uu-huuh)
have a "VIA ProSavage KN133".


Does anybody know what shall I do to get my S3 Graphics Twister K Compaq
card to work in XF86?
