The default XFree86 changed from 3.3.x to 4.2.x.  Your graphics
hardware seems popular enough to be supported, but check it out
at www.xfree86.org.  I think you're looking for support for
"S3 968" if you don't see the name of your card.

Try all of the many config options:
XFree86 -configure; xf86config; xf86cfg.

The "Xwrapper" is a common pitfall, but it sounds like you've jumped
that.

If all else fails, I suppose you could remove the 4.x package and
install the 3.x one.
