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

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^  - this appears to be the card, however, it
doesn't have an s3 pci id, so you'll need to add the id to the s3
driver.  you might be able to force it by specifying the busid and
forcing the chipid in the device section of your xorg.conf, e.g.,

BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
and
ChipID 0x8901
or
ChipID 0x8814
depending on which trio64 yours is more akin to.

Actually, I think the trio64's had an integrated DAC so don't worry about that.
