The s3 won't hurt, it'll just build something that won't get used, 
just like the vga and fbdev.  The vesa is nice to have as a 
fallback.

An ASRock board with a K8M800.  Too bad, 3D acceleration won't work: 
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5092

If you're content with how things are working now and don't intend 
to use 3D apps like Blender or ppracer, then you're done.  But if 
you would like to have at least the rudiments of 3D acceleration, 
then grep your kernel .config file for AGP and DRM and check that 
the following are set, and only these (to y or to m):

  CONFIG_AGP=y
  CONFIG_AGP_AMD64=y
  CONFIG_DRM=y
  CONFIG_DRM_VIA=y

You can set them under Device Drivers > Character Devices.

Store your current Xorg.0.log, then reboot with the new kernel and 
diff the old Xorg log with the new one to see what has changed.

When it works, you can try adding 'Option "EnableAGPDMA"' to 
'Section "Device"' in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file to gain just a 
bit more responsiveness.
