FYI
---
Support for the S3 Virge/DX card is present and works in XFree86 3.3.1
in both the SVGA and S3V servers, but ... the S3 Virge/DX is new so
previous versions* are not likely to support it.

 The SVGA server with the XAA support is supposed to be a faster
server (according to the XFree release notes) than the S3V server.


* I'm not sure when support wasadded but since the card is fairly new
I'd be willing to bet that it's only supported in 3.3.1 ...

** I'm running a generic S3 Virge/DX card under FreeBSD 3.0-SMP with
XFree 3.3.1 and it works fine although I haven't tried it at 16bpp and
32bpp.
