I don't have that computer anymore (I built and configured it for someone else),
but I thought the S3 trio 3D/2X was listed in the chipset config tab of
XF86Setup - look for S3 86c368 TRIO 3D/2X - I think that chipset number is right
- it will be similar. The memory should be 4096, and don't probe the clock.

It also means that $foo[1] is a part of @foo, not a part of $foo. This may seem
