Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-s3virge

Well, first boot with live cd or in hd instalation ( Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron ), only works in safe mode ( low resolution ).
The xorg 7.3 with xserver-xorg-video-s3virge only works in vesa mode and system crash with all others configurations and I need reset them. The videos are so slow.
 I tried $ dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg but didnt work, and that's the copy gerates:

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by failsafeDexconf, using
# values from the debconf database and some overrides to use vesa mode.
#
# You should use dexconf or another such tool for creating a "real" xorg.conf
# For example:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

I must remove xorg 7.3 and install 7.1 with corresponding xserver-xorg-video-s3virge,type-handlig of debian etch sources, but I lost dpkg 1.14.13, dpkg-dev 1.14.13 openoffice 2.4 and I can't install any program with breaks in his code neither upgrade dkpg 1.13.25 to 1.14.13.
So how i can install pci ViRGE 86C325 video card with a good driver s3virge and not vesa?
In fact, now the system works very well but I need some programs and I can't install.
Monitor 14" Provew. Motherboard abit kt7a-raid. Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron
Very thanks! Luciana!

My xorg.conf by made me manually in xorg 7.1:
# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
# values from the debconf database.
#
# Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
# (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
#
# This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
# if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
# package.
#
# If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
# again, run the following command:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
