Do you have any warnings/error messages in your Xorg.log?

Re: Problem with bug [SOLVED]

There are 3 different driver packages for S3 cards: xf86-video-{s3,s3virge,savage}
Are you sure you picked the right one? What does 'lspci' tell?

Re: Problem with bug [SOLVED]

Yeah. 'pacman -Sy xf86-video-savage' and replace "s3" with "savage" in your xorg.conf.
