If you know C and have some spare time this should be possible to just port the old drivers. But the S3 is a rahter complex one with all this RAMDACs and IMHO higly spaghetti coded :-( I spent nearly a full work-day to port the SDAC GENDAC code - and I'm not yet finished. But this is postponed until I have more free time - or a sponsor (I currently can not afford investing a whole week or so to port this). > (Note, I didn't CC: this to the mailing list, though it might be > on-topic.)

I just got an old IBM PowerPC box with S3 Vision 864 - where even no code is present in 4.3.x to support it ... Your 964 should be support (from what I see in the code), and your XFree also recognize it: (II) S3: driver (version 0.3.5 for S3 chipset: 964-0, 964-1, 968, Trio32/64, Aurora64V+ Strange are the many PCI device occurences in your logfile - what does a lspci list on your system? Nevertheless - I just started to port the old code from 3.3.6 for my card (864) to 4.3.99.x. I also have some old Western Digital Paradise, and a ET3000 lying arround. And if I'm lucky I should have my first Videocard in my life - a Tseng Labs - lying somewhere. If I find free time I could port those bits, too. I really would like to see all the old cards supported - maybe someone wants to sponsor me to port the code? > -Toth Sincerely yours, René Rebe - ROCK Linux stable release maintainer -- René Rebe - Europe/Germany/Berlin [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.rocklinux.org http://www.rocklinux.net/people/rene http://gsmp.tfh-berlin.de/gsmp http://gsmp.tfh-berlin.de/rene ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86

Welcome to the club. I also haven't been able to use my S3 968 based cards with XFree86 4.x. My problems are due to the lack of support for the IBM RGB526 RAMDAC (which my cards use), but I didn't notice that error in your log file. You might try using the XFree 3.3.6 S3 server, as it works, but lacks some of the features that tend to make 4.x desirable. -Toth ___ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
[XFree86] Problems with S3 968 Vision
Hi, I have a computer with Sony CPD 200 sf and S3 968 Vision (2 Mega)pci video card. When i try to configure X server(Red Hat 9.0 and XFree86 4.3.0) always receive errors messages(Attached). After search on the Web i tried many suggestions but don't solve this problem. Could someone help me? Gustavo Klaus.
