[TriLUG] slackware and S3 video drivers

[stan briggs]

all,

i'm thoroughly enjoying my slackware install though i'm still fighting
the video. i've got an S3 Trio 3D card (yes, it's old) that install and
run with the generic S3 drivers giving me the complete breadth of
resolution up to, and including, 800x600. when, using xorgconfig, i
specify the exact card (right down to the model number [86C365)) it
tells me that the card is basically unsupported. can this be possible?
can i not see the forest for the trees?

ideas and suggestions would be appreciated.

thanks,
stan
