This is about what I see, except mine actually does change modes into
1152x864, 16bpp. 8bpp seems to work for me too. 24bpp crashes the

I'm using an S3Virge too.
(--) PCI:*(0:13:0) S3 ViRGE rev 2, Mem @ 0x84000000/26
Do you have the s3virge driver specified in your config file. Eg:
Section "Device"
Identifier "blah"
VendorName "Unknown"
VideoRam 4096
Driver "s3virge" # for XFree86 4.* (and 3.9.*)
EndSection

I see the same error messages, I assumed they were harmless.
