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
server, but text mode is properly restored.

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.
