Well, XFree86 underwent some serious reworking with the debut of the 4.x line - moving away from monolithic X servers, and moving towards modules for everything, with one smaller base server. Not a lot of attention had initially been paid to moving the old-style 3.x drivers for many old boards (pre-ViRGE S3 boards, older Cirrus and Trident boards had also fallen victim to this), as much of the redesign was intended to allow support for more-advanced features like the XVideo and DRI subsystems. Only recently have those really old drivers been ported forward to the new modular architecture. So you may need to stay with 3.3.x for now, or if you're up to it, try hacking in interlaced-mode support. That's about all you can do, until someone eventually gets the drivers for the older boards fully ported up.
