Hi guys!

It took me 8 hours to find out, why an onboard S3 ProSavage8 3D did strange things to me.

Using XFree 4.3.0 and trying to configure it with one of the following commands:

xf86config
XFree86 -configure
X -configure
xf86cfg

is not enough! It only works after disableing the BIOS-use with

Option "UseBIOS" "off"

I recommend to make the initial config with xf86cfg, to get the full savage options list plus the settings for xkb (which is not happening when using any of the others).
