I have an S3-805 no-name card in my PC at work and it runs fine with
Win-95.  But that doesn't help you much...

What happens if you turn off all optimisation in the S3 driver?  Does it
still do that?

Did you do a clean installation of Win-95 or install over an existing
Windows installation?  Maybe Win-95 is picking up bits of your old Windows
driver.

Do you have a COM4?  There are reports of S3 graphics cards interfereing
with Com4.  Microsoft have a patch for this on the MSN.

Did your card come with any DOS utilities to set it up eg. refresh rates,
VESA drivers or extended resolution enablers.  Try either removing or
adding them (as necessary).
