Arif,

The XFree86 4.1.0 support for the S3 video chipsets is pretty bad.

You might try using an XFree86 3.3.6 Xserver.

Download and install the ltsp_x336_s3  and/or the ltsp_x336_s3v  packages.

Then, in the lts.conf file, try setting XSERVER to either 'XF86_S3' or 
'XF86_S3V'.

If the XSERVER value starts with 'XF86_', then it will use the 3.3.6 
xservers.

Hope that helps,

Jim McQuillan
