We discussed this before. Trying to see all S3 cards as one big family is
not done, for the chips differ far too much, so it would make the code
unreadable. 

Besides, you would not do me a pleasure if you start writing yet 
another ViRGE driver. I already got the idea my job is useless for the big
kernel guys still don't seem to understand the joy of KGI / GGI. Can't we
just write one driver for many chips instead of making many drivers for
the one chip ?

Or am I making sense now ?
