I beleive that xf86cfg defaults to a VESA driver. When you run xf86cfg you should select the "s3virge" module to load. To do this, go to the video card on the top and select confgure video card. It should bring up a menu allowing you to either select your video card or module. Just select the "s3virge" module. - Tom
