I am running Slackware 8.0 on a Pentium 90 system with a S3 Trio 64 =
display. I installed XFree86 4.2.0 hoping for better S3 support. XFree86 =
-configure detects the video card and writes up a XF86Config file with =
60 display adapters!

PCI 0:9:0
PCI 16:0:0
PCI 16:0:1
...
PCI 17:27:0

When I try to startx I see the display initializing (The way it does at =
boot) over and over I don't know if it would go on forever, but after =
about 5 minutes I just pressed the reset button. (CTRL-ALT-Backspace had =
no effect.)

I trimmed all the extra screens, monitors, and displays from the file, =
leaving only Screen0, Monitor0 and Display0. X will load that way, but =
the s3 driver leaves a bunch of warnings like "No matching Device =
section for instance (Bus ID PCI:17:27:0) found." And I can't seem to =
increase the display resolution. The driver thinks the card has =
insufficient memory to reach anything over VGA.

I have a nice 8 meg ATI card, but it won't work with that old processor. =
;-)

So has anyone seen this before? Any suggestions?
