I'm not positive if this is one of the two S3 drivers on the chopping block, but I at least wanted to wave a "yes, I'm still using an S3 card, albeit lightly" from the back row. $ dmesg | grep vga vga1 at pci1 dev 0 function 0 "S3 Twister" rev 0x02 wsdisplay0 at vga1 mux 1: console (80x25, vt100 emulation) $ grep -i s3 /var/log/Xorg.0.log [ 164.119] (II) SAVAGE: driver (version 2.3.9) for S3 Savage chipsets: Savage4, [ 164.279] (II) SAVAGE(0): VESA VBE OEM: S3 Incorporated. Twister BIOS [ 164.279] (II) SAVAGE(0): VESA VBE OEM Vendor: S3 Incorporated. [ 165.680] (II) SAVAGE(0): VESA VBE OEM: S3 Incorporated. Twister BIOS [ 165.680] (II) SAVAGE(0): VESA VBE OEM Vendor: S3 Incorporated. Please let me know if you need any further information. And push come to shove, I can retire the GUI on this machine, as I use it largely out of nostalgia as it was my first 100% OpenBSD machine. Thanks, -Tim
