by I've seen a number of questions related to XFree86 working with
S3 Trio64(V2,+, etc..) chipsets. Probably the easiest answer I can
give is to get the latest release (v3.3.1) of XFree86 software. The
new S3 server contains support for these chipsets.

Some further S3 968 hardware bugs for lines/text have been worked
around.
Cursor/pointer pixmaps larger than 64x64 are now supported without
the need to use the "sw_cursor" option.
Detection/support for the Trio64UV+, Trio64V2 (including the /DX
and /GX versions), Aurora64V+ (86CM65 used in
notebooks), and Plato/PX is now included. This support is very new
and hasn't had much testing, so please send us
success/failure reports.
Support is now included for the ELSA Winner 2000PRO/X-8. Please
refer to the notes for this card in README.S3.
Support is now included for the MIRO 80SV.
A bug which prevented DGA apps from setting the ViewPort to the
lower part of the framebuffer has been fixed (this
showed up most commonly with 4MB cards).
