heh, no. :)

Try this in your XF86Config:

Section "Screen"
	Identifiers "Screen0"
	Device "Card0"
	Monitor "Monitor0"
	DefaultDepth 16
	Subsection "Display"
		Depth 16
		Modes "1024x768"
	EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Device"
	Identifier "Card0"
	Driver "s3virge"
	VendorName "cirrus"
	BoardName "whatever"
	BusID	"PCI:0:15:0" #Your entry here might vary
	ChipSet "86c325"
EndSection


See if that works.
Josh
