Does Xorg 6.9/7.0 support the old PCI graphic card S3 Trio64?

Should work, I have an onboard S3 Trio3D 64
01:01.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. Trio 64 3D (rev 01)
Xorg works ok with the driver, though I have to jiggle the xorg config to get it to use the right refresh rate.

It should be supported by the s3 driver, depending on which DAC is
used. the s3 driver doesn't support all the DACs that were used in
conjuction with s3 chips of that period. specify "s3" for the driver.

the s3 driver hasn't changed between 6.7 and 6.9/7.0 so that driver
should still work. If you are still having trouble, post your log and
updated config.
