However, when I run startx it starts up but is So, then XFree86 does decide that this is not an S3 chip and that the appropriate driver is "rendition". > unusable.

Harris also answered in this thread? He's Red Hat's XFree86 guy and is most likely to be able to help. Other places to try are on the xfree86 lists themselves. There are two: xpert and newbie http://www.xfree86.org/mailman/listinfo and the best thing would be to post first on newbie asking if anyone has a sample XF86Config and then to ask on Xpert if you get no answers on newbie. (You'll need to make sure that your monitor horiz/vert refresh rates are adjusted properly in the XF86Config). Sorry I can't be more help.
