Created attachment 17906 [details] Xorg.0.log generated by sax2 I am using openSUSE 10.3 with Xorg 7.2.0. According to hwinfo --gfxcard I have a "86C775 Trio64V2/DX, 86C785 Trio64V2/GX" on board controller. I cloned the latest git commit (with git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-s3), qgit shows that this is the version of 07.07.08. I compiled this driver with autoreconf -fi ./configure --prefix=/usr make make install I restarted the system in runlevel 3 and invoked sax2 what results in a blank screen. This shows that the system is not configurable with the S3 driver. With Ctrl-Alt-del the system can be restarted. My hwinfo --gfxcard shows 15: PCI 0f.0: 0300 VGA compatible controller (VGA) [Created at pci.301] UDI: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_5333_8901 Unique ID: _+Pw.zRTkGjKA2qF SysFS ID: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:0f.0 SysFS BusID: 0000:00:0f.0 Hardware Class: graphics card Model: "S3 86C775 Trio64V2/DX, 86C785 Trio64V2/GX" Vendor: pci 0x5333 "S3 Inc."

At the moment I don't want to upgrade to openSUSE 11.0 and Xorg 7.3.x because I have an application what is not fully tested on this release. So I need a solution for 7.2.0. I attach the complete Xorg.0.log. Note that the configuration already hangs with sax2 so that I cannot provide a xorg.conf. I can start my X server with the vesa driver. I also tested the version 0.6.0 as of 19.03.08.
The xorg.conf can be found here: (++) Using config file: "/tmp/sax2-6970/xorg.conf" This is string from your log file.
I also have S3 Trio64V2 but I haven't any problems with 0.4.0 to 0.6.0 versions. However my card is inserted into very, very old motherboard. Have you second (e.g. Intel) videochip on motherboard? I have a few bug reports about the strange behaviour of S3 Trio64V/V+ with i965G and i810 chipsets during initialization phase and/or first minutes of working (the system hangs after this period). Your log breaks before or during the ScreenInit() phase (when your chip is configured by programming the registers) and doesn't go to the end. It looks like I/O conflict or something similar. I'm preparing a patch for S3 driver, but it doesn't ready yet. So here are the first steps that come to mind. 1. If you have the skills to compile driver, I recommend you to enable PCI read burst in the driver. It can be done by searching the following part in s3_driver.c: if (pS3->SlowDRAMRefresh) new->cr3a = 0xb7; else new->cr3a = 0xb5; and replacing it with: if (pS3->SlowDRAMRefresh) new->cr3a = 0x37; else new->cr3a = 0x35; These changes will enable PCI read bursts in videochip. 2. Also you can try to disable MTRR by "Option" "NoMtrr" This change will disable Write-combining (your log breaks after that message). The next steps depends from results. And could you attach 'lspci -v' and 'cat /proc/ioports' output?
Is this still an issue? What is the status of the changes you mentioned in the previous comment?
