I have a Diamond Stealth 64, 2 MB VRAM card with the S3 968 chipset and a ViewSonic 17PS monitor. You will need to use the S3 server if you have a 968 card. If you have one of the newer Virge chipset cards, you will need to use the S3V (or something like that) server in XFree86-3.2. I used xf86config to set it up first and then fine tuned it with xvidtune once it was running. Cheers, Carey
