^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

*very* different problem...
[only] this card doesn't work with the XFree86 3.2 server binary out of the box!

it wasn't tested before 3.2 was released since we didn't get any card
from Diamond in time (or any beta tester with such a card).
and Diamond has a slightly different (and in my eyes incorrect) BIOS setup
than any other manufacturer which then triggered a bug in S3V server :-(
anyway...

if anyone has such a card (or knows of anyone having it) and plain 3.2 XF86_S3V
doesn't work, please contact me directly and ask for a fix...
