Interesting. Which distro? Have you tried any other X config tools - there is also XF86Setup, Xconfigurator (Redhat) anXious (debian).
Which debian? Potato? For potato I beleive there is a version of the X server for the S3 chipset (which has many varients) and you would need to installed that - it is probably called xserver-s3
If you are prepared to face the possibility that X may refuser to work and that you'd have to come back for more help, I would install this new package (xserver-s3) and say yes when it asks you if you want to make it the default.
I'd be surprised if the outcome was any different...
If that doesn't do the trick, you could try the other X config tools or post your XF86Config for suggestions as to what to edit.
I tried running some of the other configuring tools. Not tried anXious. Potato is the distro. I'm happy to edit XF86Config by hand if I knew what was needed - I'll post tonight if that is ok? Will I need to hunt down a copy of xserverS3, or does debian have it lurking somewhere? Thanks, Jenny.
