2. XF86_S3V server

The S3V server has some minor fixes since 3.3.1. You should find that the ViRGE server is stable at all depths. The server supports 1 and 32 bpp pixmap formats. This fixes known problems with xanim and Netscape clients in early versions of the S3V server. It has been tested with ViRGE cards with 2 and 4MB DRAM, ViRGE/DX 4M, ViRGE/VX 8M (4M VRAM/4M DRAM), and with a 220MHz ViRGE/VX card with 2MB VRAM up to 1600x1200 with 8/15/16bpp.

NOTE: This driver is pretty new, and not everything might work like you expect it to. It shouldn't crash your machine, but you may have video artifacts or missing lines. Please report any and all problems to XFree86@Xfree86.org using the appropriate bug report sheet.
