I've had some weird issues like that with both linux & unix .... from my limited experience it seems just a conflict issue thats usually resolved with a different card. Although S3 cards usually work in almost any system, there still appears to be the odd one which gives unusual "features". Its hardly worth losing sleep over as they are economical enough so just try another one or even a different brand of videocard. > I believe something is wrong here but We have a S3 Trio3D > vga card here and it does not work with X! with both 3.3.4 and > 3.3.5 Versions! but with linux it works fine! and when I copy > the conf file generated by XF86Setup program to FreeBSD from Linux > then it still does not work!
