The troubles with my gfx card are here again! =P

In attach you can find my vgainfo.txt, and this is what I've added
to the vgadb file:

ctrl
        0xC0045="S3 86C375/86C385 Video BIOS. Version 1.01.03"
	0xC0073="375 EDO M70 "
        link=vga
        ctlr=virge

I've even tried different combinations, cause I wasn't 100% sure of 
my solution, but nothing worked... 

I got the same error every time I boot from the floppy:

aux/vga: controller not in /lib/vgadb
[snip the dump]
aux/vga: vgactlw: <type vga>: bad arg in system call
rio: can't open display: initdisplay: /dev/drwa/new: no frame buffer
etcetc

any hints?

thank you =)
