Fedora Core 5 S3/S3Virge videocard support problems.

[Ma Weimin]

I think the driver for S3 Trio64(86C764X) is s3, not s3virge. Because i 
just installed a second S3 Trio64(86C765) with driver "s3" and it works.

try to use "X -configure" in console mode to let Xserver detect the card 
automatically.
