FC3 on a Compaq notebook: X trouble

[Douglas Frank]

Ugh, looks like you're right.  The x.org site mentions that a lot of the
older S3 cards' drivers haven't been ported from xfree86 to x.org.  And
that there are no plans (because no people) to do so.

Sigh.

This is the first instance I've heard of, of old hardware being
abandoned by an open source community.
