That card you have to use with the XF86_S3V server (not the XF86_S3
server).  Make sure you've got the right one, and if that doesn't
work, make sure you've got the most recent version of X (3.3.3.1, I
believe).

If that doesn't work, please be a bit more specoific about "didn't
work".  Were there any error messages?

Good luck!
