I'm not sure what the default is.

No. 3.2 is a "full" release now.

>From http://www.xfree86.org:
The new full release, XFree86-3.2, is now available both as binaries
for the most common operating systems as well as the complete
sources. It includes, among many other changes, X servers for the
Matrox Millenium, cards based on the S3 ViRGE and S3 ViRGE/VX chips,
and the NV-1.

I doubt it, but I'm not sure. The server likes to have some of the
video RAM available for "expanding pixmaps" and other junk, and
1152x900x2 is very close to 2meg. Download 3.2 and give it a shot. I
run with depth=8 (as I neglected to mention in my earlier message).

My S3 card allows for expansion to 4meg...
