That's what the docs say. YMMV. My experience, with an S3 ViRGE/VX
chipset, was that the SVGA server was buggy -- I could fire of an X
session fine, but if I tried launching a second X session -- either
simultaneously or after closing the first, my system hung. The fix was

H, guess you're right on that. I was running a Savage4-based card in
my system some weeks ago, and it only worked well with the SVGA server. W

Hi,
I have a S3 Virge/MX chipset in my system, so I happened to read through
the XFree site about that recently. In the section on the 3.3.6 server,
on page: http://www
optimized xservers (http://www.vmware.com/support/xfree86.html). I
downloaded s3v, changed the first line in /etc/X11/Xserver and everything
works as expected now. StarOffice doesn't hang up and Netscape looks
great. I hope someone will find this information useful.

Description: X server for S3 ViRGE and ViRGE/VX-based graphics cards
This package provides an X server suitable for use with video cards based
on the S3 ViRGE chipset. In most cases, use of this X server is deprecated
in favor of the SVGA X server.

Hi all,
I have a Diamond 3D 2000 video card. The chip is S3 Virge. The
memory of the videocard is 4 meg.
With this configuration, I cannot display 24bit color under XF86.
I am pretty sure that my hardware is capable of doing that, as I can do it
under NT.

They're figuring that the SVGA driver will eventually replace S3V. For
right now, it's recommended that you use whichever one seems to work
better. I've found that SVGA is a littl
I'm a newbye in Linux and I just installed XFree86 from the last debian
distribution. I choose to use the SVGA xserver for my S3Virge video card.
Everything works fine but I'm just wondering something I didn't understood in
the docs. What are the main differences between t

Debian doesn't set up the X server this way. Try reinstalling the X
server (maybe xbase fi

You probably want the command
ln -sf /usr/X11R6/bin/XF86_S3 /usr/X11R6/bin/X
instead.

They're there, I just downgraded myself. Look in rex-fixed or something
like that.
A couple of months ago I convinced a friend

and in turn convinced some other people to do the same. He
