Using S3 Virge with a Permedia II based card? I'm a bit puzzled.. Should =
this
really work??

Why does glint not work? Are you getting any error messages? But, anyway,=
 it
is known that glint doesn't work flawlessly with the CybervisionPPC. Use
following setup

Section "Device"
    Identifier    "Generic Video Card"
    Driver        "fbdev"
    Option        "NoInt10"
EndSection

If it then finds a device but still doesn't start up, you have to create =
your
own mode lines using fbset. For a 17" monitor it could look like this

Section "Monitor"
    Identifier    "Generic Monitor"
    HorizSync    30-65
    VertRefresh    50-90
    Option        "DPMS"

    Mode "1024x768"
        # D: 78.933 MHz, H: 60.162 kHz, V: 75.203 Hz
        DotClock 78.934
        HTimings 1024 1040 1136 1312
        VTimings 768 769 772 800
        Flags    "+HSync" "+VSync"
    EndMode
EndSection

You may compare you're current XF86Config with the attached XF86Config wh=
ich
should work for a CybervisionPPC (at least it worked on my machine, and s=
till
works..).

But you don't need most of the "Module" mumbo-jumbo, so go and comment it=
 out
(well, not everything of course, you have to consult some kind of
documentation..).
