I should point out the version of the driver I've made available for download is not the recently released VIA/S3 driver. Their driver has a number of problems which need to be resolved before it will work on operating systems other than Linux. Also, the 3D acceleration support is limited to the ProSavage and Twister series of chips in the Savage family, so the code is not useful to me right now. If you like the Xv support in Tim Roberts' driver then you may wish to check out my port of s3switch, in /usr/ports/graphics/s3switch; this allows you to use the S-VHS and TV output present on some Savage-based cards, under FreeBSD. If S3 are willing to tidy up their code and backport it to the earlier Savage chips, then it will be useful on T22/T23, and I may be willing to spend more time on getting it to be a good (i.e. portable) XFree86 citizen.
