Try this little patch against /driver/xf86-video-s3/configure.ac. Generate new configure script with autogen.sh and recompile driver. After that you will be able to replace "vesa" to "s3" and get full 2d acceleration for your trio64V2/DX/GX. This patch works well for me now on this card. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7112#c7 xorg.conf sample: Section "Device" Identifier "s3_trio64v2" # Driver "vesa" Driver "s3" # Option "noaccel" Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen 1" Device "s3_trio64v2" Monitor "your_monitor_id" DefaultDepth 16 Subsection "Display" Depth 8 Modes "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 16 Modes "800x600" "640x480" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection Subsection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "800x600" "640x480" ViewPort 0 0 EndSubsection EndSection Note that I could get only 800x600 @ 85Hz only with 16bpp depth.

I've been asked to post this bug here with reference to the site above. Copy and paste of non-gentoo specific info from above link: Using any version of xf86-video-vesa greater than 1.0.1.3 results in not being able to startx on a S3 Trio card. Using v1.0.1.3 works fine.
