Have you tried system-config-display --reconfig ? Execute that from
runlevel 3 - you may want to back up /etc/X11/xorg.conf first. If the
S3 card is not recognized I would suggest filing an entry in bugzilla.
You may also try manually setting the driver to S3 Virge - that may get
you a working desktop but it may cause problems for DRI/3D applications.
As another poster mentioned, you should have normal-sized fonts even
with the VESA driver. Double-check that the "Monitor" section
of /etc/X11/xorg.conf has a line like:
DisplaySize 320 240
Those numbers represent your monitor's viewable image area in mm, and
320x240 is a common size for a 17-inch CRT. I would also log an entry
in bugzilla if the DisplaySize parameter is present and the fonts are
still too small.
