I have a Trio3D / S3 368 working with the XF86_SVGA driver
from XFree86 3.3.7 --- no problems, in spite of what they say
in the docs about this chipset being very sensitive to mode line.
However I did have to set do `set_mclk 110' to avoid bad snowstorm
trouble.
Critical bits of XF86Config:

Section "Device"
Identifier "Trio3D"
VendorName "Unknown"
BoardName "Unknown"
VideoRam 8192
Chipset "s3_virge"
Option "fifo_aggressive"
Option "sw_cursor"
Option "pci_burst_on"
Option "pci_retry"
set_mclk 110
EndSection

Section "Screen"
Driver "svga"
Device "Trio3D"
Monitor "My Monitor"
Subsection "Display"
