I use a Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 (not the Pro unit) under X with 8, 15, 16,
24 and 32 bits per pixel color depth just fine.

I also _do_not_ use the SVGA driver: I use the S3V server.
It is more stable than the SVGA server for S3 Virge use.

Send me the output of "startx -- -bpp 32" and send me your XF86Config
file and I'll try to find your problem.
