Though S3 Trio 3D is supported by XFree86 3.3.5, but I am not able to
set the Xserver to 16 bit colors, though it says the default setting is
16 bit and 1024*768 resolution, but only 8 bit colors work and that too
with only 1024*768 resolution and lower. Can anybody tell me whether he
has been able to set that to 16 bit color with S3 Trio 3D card and 3.3.5
