Hello.
I recently installed FreeBSD 4.5-release and have an issue with X.
My hardware consists of an old P133 with a S3 PCI VGA, i have some 
different models to choose from, but they all only work via VESA.
Though that is very slow this wouldn't matter much, what matters is
that the screen isn't redrawn in that mode and therefore is 
unusable. The appropriate XFree86 module would be s3_drv.o, located
in /usr/X11/lib/modules/ , but when i build XFree86 4.1.0 from 
ports that module isn't built. Why is that? I wouldn't ask, if i 
hadn't installed Linux Mandrake 8.1 on another machine which just 
happens to have also XFree86 4.1.0 installed. This build HAS the
s3_drv.o module, i copied that over to FreeBSD and it loads just 
fine with a TrioV64V+, the other S3Cards it won't recognize. So 
that would be satisfiying to me, except of hanging (crashing) my 
system when exiting X.

Is there a simple solution?

Greetings,
Paul Kouwelas
