The S3V server has had many enhancements and bug fixes since 3.2A. With the release of 3.3 you should find that the ViRGE server is stable at all depths. Full support for 24bpp has been implemented. In addition, 32bpp pixmaps are supported. This fixes known problems with xanim and Netscape clients in 3.2A. It has been tested with ViRGE cards with 2 and 4MB DRAM and with a 220MHz ViRGE/VX card with 2MB VRAM up to 1600x1200 with 8/15/16bpp.
NOTE: This driver is pretty new, and not everything might work like you expect it to. It shouldn't crash your machine, but you may have video artifacts or missing lines. Please report any and all problems to XFree86@Xfree86.org using the appropriate bug report sheet.
The server auto-detects RAM size, RAMDAC and ClockChip. Do not bother putting these in your "Device" section. The "nolinear" option is unsupported.
