My S3's card (S3 Trio64) has a memory space.  It uses as frame buffer,
mapped on 0xc0000000 by BAR0 against from CPU.

This mapped address (0xfc000000) is bug for Xserver...  When the value is
0, X tries fixup.  And, 0xfc000000 was set as a result.


Also,
I attached file (pcictl.dump.s3.log):

PCI memory space mapped 0xc0000000.  However it remap 0x00000000 against
from PCI space.  In a word it is not a flat space.
My S3 Trio64 was mapped at 0x00000000 by BAR0.  pcictl(8) reports 'not
implemented(?)', if mapped 0x00000000.

No...
