actually, you'll need to edit the source otherwise
xf86MatchPciInstances() will fail and S3Probe() will fail.  In
S3Probe() in s3_driver.c, change this line:
	numUsed = xf86MatchPciInstances("s3", PCI_VENDOR_S3,
to this:
	numUsed = xf86MatchPciInstances("s3", 0x1236,

then try forcing the chipid.

if that works, you'll also have to add the chip id to S3PciChipsets[]
