As of Xfree86-1.2 I moved from maintaining XS3 to adding support for S3
cards in Xfree86, The S3 support will not make it into the next release of
xfree86 (be it either 1.2.1 or 1.3), but will definetly be there in 2.0.
Don't ask me when v.2.0 will arrive, but it won't be this or next month.
There are plenty of bugs and performance problems to be ironed out yet.

Support for mach8, ibm8514, and probably cirrus are in the makings. This
can probably be better answered in comp.windows.x.i386unix.
