I read your autoresponse and started to install XFree86-4-Server from
the updated (may 13) ports collection. It failed on an imake, the make
install log is below. 

I am copying this to FreeBSD as well.

Original message to XFree86.org:
It works (S3 Trio3D/2X) under FreeBSD 4.5, but the images are not
correctly replaced when the image moves. (This leaves partial copies of
the images all over the window). (under XFree86 3.6 w/base install)

Are there any driver updates since the Jan 2002 4.5 release? 

Thanks,
Bill Nicholls
