I thought you said this was going to be a package for use with XSVGA 
server and that this server would work with any VESA video card.  I got 
XSVGA working with SiS and S3-Virge using the same config file, by 
accident.

Did you set it for a low-end monitor and 1MB card?
I will gladly try this in about 8 hours (1 am here). 
Can you explain briefly how you did the default configuration?
Does your package include libraries needed by a standard server that 
are not needed by Xvesa?
