	You are mixing VGA components with S3 components.  Use S3 Trio64
chipset, S3 IDAC clock, S3 Trio64 DAC, and generic accel (Trio64 accel is
broken right now) instead of you current setup.

	Try the changes I suggested and see if the error goes away.

	Oh, OK.  Well the accel driver *might be a proble, try using the
generic accel driver.
