I had problems using the S3V server; there was constant video corruption and the fonts in the virtual terminals were blasted beyond recognition. According to the XFree86 documentation, the SVGA server has better support for the ViRGE chips than the S3V server. It also mentions that future versions of the S3V server will incorporate the code from the SVGA server. Anyways, I now use the SVGA server. It recognizes the ViRGE/DX chip and performs very well. One bad point: I can't get 32/24 bpp to work without some video corruption -- but 16 bpp works fine...
