Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-s3

Over a year ago, this bug was reported, and someone posted a patch about
4 months ago. However, this bug has been erased from Malone's database,
and the fix was NOT included in the current Feisty package. So that's
why I'm re-submitting this bug report with a fix.

I fixed it on my own computer by grabbing Debian's source packages from
http://packages.debian.org/testing/source/xserver-xorg-video-s3

Then, I modified the control file so it would not arbitrarily depend on
Debian's version numbering scheme, and I built a working package using
their source tree and my modified control file.

I hope by building a working package for Edgy and Feisty and providing
my modified control file, that this can be included in Feisty and future
Ubuntu releases, as I like being able to use my Pentium II system to its
full potential with the latest software.

I am using the package I just built and verified that it is indeed a
working bugfix.
