I think apt-get install xserver-s3v will do the trick. The s3 driver seems to be broken for some versions of the s3 chips in xserver-xfree86_4.1.0. I've been told that;s because the s3 chips don't comply entirely with the vesa standard. You might apt-get install read-edid and also the mdetect package, before you install the xserver-s3v package, it might make the configuration stage easier.
