FWIW _SVGA does not work properly with my S3 Virge, the autoprobe of
things like memory et al does not happen whereas the _S3V works fine.
I suppose I should bug report that to XFree :-/

Also, I have set up xdm on my laptop and have found that the machine
will not come out of suspend any more.  I have a Toshiba 400CDT and I
suspend/resume the thing at least a couple of times a day.  When I run
X using startx I have been able to have uptimes of 30+ days but with
xdm I have never been able to successfully resume the machine - it
powers back up with a blank screen and nothing happens, if I suspend
it again using the power button and then resume the machine reboots.
Not nice.
