Hello all

I recently "gentoo-ized" an alpha DS20 workstation.
All went well except the X11 configuration... There is a S3 Trio 32/64 graphic card inside the beast and I discovered that the good old s3 driver was not built when emerging xorg-x11 ! :cry:

So I modified manually the ebuild to add it and tested it successfully.
Is there a particular reason that the S3 driver is excluded on alpha arch? (I can report that it works well...)
