Hello happy BSD'ers !
I try to run Xfree 3.1.2 on a brand new Diamond 3D 2000
card with an S3 Virge chipset (on a FreeBSD 2.1.5 box).
The S3 Server doesn not seem to recognize this chipset,
so I tried different configurations (with xf86config) 
without any success..

So here's my question : is the S3 V_i_r_g_e supported by Xfree
(I can't use Xinside Product, since it's for one of my box,
I install it for someone else), are there patches availables ?
Should I wait the soon-coming Xfree 3.2 release ?

TIA
