I think that the Vision 864 is supported by the "s3" driver. But that is
still old. Sorry I don't answer your question in the Subject line.
You probably want to use pkgsrc and the modular-xorg packages instead. The
driver is pkgsrc/x11/xf86-video-s3. I don't know if binary packages are
available for that though.
