Hello All,

                   PLEASE READ THIS IF YOU'VE SET UP AN S3 
                     VIDEO CARD WITH XFree86-3.1 OR KNOW
                   ANYTHING ABOUT SETTING UP AN XF86Config 
                             FILE IN XFree86-3.1

                   THIS IS RUNNING ON LINUX WITH A KERNEL 
                              OF 1.1.0 RUNNING

	 OK, here's my problem in explained in the shortest way possible....

I've installed XFree86-3.1 perfectly (can fire up the Mono server), but I
can't figure out the correct XF86Config entry for my card (I need the bit
for the accelerated cards). It complains about everything I put in there...

Here's the most I can figure out about it - if there's any more I should've
included pleaze tell me so I (might) repost it....

* Full name (on manual): Expert Colour DSP3864/P S3 864 VL/PCI Bus VGA CARD.

* Uses the Vision864 chipset which should be supported in 3.1

* Said to be *the* most common S3 PCI video card in Australia.

* Don't worry about the VGA bit, it can go all the way up to 1280x1024x16 or
1024x786x256.

* I've got the PCI version with 1 Mb RAM.

* SuperProbe 2.2 gave me this info:

First video: Super-VGA
        Chipset: S3 Vision864
        Memory:  1024 Kbytes
        RAMDAC:  AT&T 20C492 15/16/18-bit DAC with gamma correction
                 (with 6-bit wide lookup tables (or in 6-bit mode))

* This is the sample for what I'm having problems with:

 Section "Screen"
     Driver    "accel"
     Device    "Actix GE32+ 2MB"
     Monitor   "Generic Monitor"
     Subsection  "Display"
         Depth     8
         Modes     "640x480"
         ViewPort    0 0
         Virtual           1280 1024
     EndSubsection
     SubSection "Display"
         Depth     16
         Weight            565
         Modes     "640x480"
         ViewPort    0 0
         Virtual           1024 768
     EndSubsection
 EndSection

* This is what it says (i've got the S3 server linked to X, so don't worry
about that):

XFree86 Version 3.1 / X Window System
(protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6000)
Operating System: Linux
Configured drivers:
  S3: accelerated server for S3 graphics adaptors (Patchlevel 0)
      mmio_928, s3_generic
(using VT number 7)

XF86Config: /root/XF86Config
(**) stands for supplied, (--) stands for probed/default values
(**) Mouse: type: Microsoft, device: /dev/mouse, baudrate: 1200

Config Error: /root/XF86Config:294

     Device     "Actix GE32+ 2MB"
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Not a declared device
giving up.
xinit:  Invalid argument (errno 22):  unable to connect to X server
xinit:  No such process (errno 3):  Server error.

No matter what I try changing for Device I can't get it to work.

Help! What should I do?????

Any help will *GREATELY* be appreciated
