Notes and Observations:
1. The S3 Trio 3D video card had to be installed using the XF86_VGA16 X driver. Accelerated X has support for the S3 Trio 3D with their product which will give extended video capabilities over the XF86_VGA16 driver. Users may find the XF86_VGA16 X driver to be unacceptable for a workstation display.
