To a first approximation, I deeply do not care. If you're choosing to
use an s3virge in 2011 you've already decided to make your life hard.
While I don't care about accelerated X support, this hardware darned
well better continue working in an "it works" 2D display mode. VESA or
whatever is fine.
Why?
Data centers have /plenty/ of ancient video solutions out there, and
basic video support is needed.
