There's only one X server in Xfree86 > 4.
You just want to make sure that you have a Device section in your
XF86Config that reads:
Driver "s3"
If this is a fresh install, then you're either not running XFree 4 or
you've got some mixed packages or bad config files.

Totally understandable, though. The changes between XFree 3 and 4 were
pretty confusing.
