           Summary: s3 card no longer works with new version
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 4.2
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but
  on Redhat 7.2 (using xfree ver 3.3.6 with some 4.2 components) it works.
  on RH 7.3 or 8.0 (using xfree ver 4.2) it crashes with the following error

(EE) No devices detected.

Driver is set to "s3" in the XF86Config file

On the web page http://www.xfree86.org/4.2.0/Status28.html#28, The summary says 
that "All hardware supported in 3.3.6 is also supported in 4.2.0 except for..."

According to this, my S3 card should work but fails as described above.

However, according to the 4.2.0 section, on the same page, "Support ... 
Trio64V2, ... is provided by the 's3' driver (however, only models using the 
IBM RGB 524, Texas Instruments 3025, or an internal TrioDAC RAMDAC chip are 
supported).", which means that my card isn't supported and is in contradiction 
to the summary. If this is true, will it be supported in a future version?  I 
couldn't find any ToDo list.

Video Card:
        FCC ID: ICUVGA-GW503B
        Chip:   S3 Trio64V2/DX   86C775
        Manuf:  Sporton   - obtained from searching the www.fcc.gov website.
        Manuf web: www.sporton.com.tw

RH install detects it as S3 Trio64V2
