Bug#374059: xserver-xorg-video-s3: missing man page: /usr/..

Package: xserver-xorg-video-s3
Version: 1:0.3.5.4-3
Severity: normal

Hi,

Since xfree86 4.x never supported many of the various s3 chipsets
properly, I would expect a man page for xserver-xorg-video-s3 to
document which chipsets are now supported, as well as which config
file options are supported.

IOW, a normal server man page is needed for this driver.

I am not about to upgrade my system, since such an upgrade is a
one way street, until I have some confidence that my chipset (968
with IBM 526 Ramdac) is now supported.

There is however, much hope from the driver's binary text found in
the *.deb file,

$ strings ./usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/s3_drv.so | grep 526
IBMramdac526SetBppWeak
IBMramdac526SetBppWeak
IBMramdac526CalculateMNPCForClock


Thanks,

I've written and committed to the upstream the manual page for S3.

Should I rework it for Lenny and prepare patch? Is the man page the
subject for proposed updates? I'm asking because the changes can be
slightly complicated for proposed updates as it's needed to change
configure.ac and /debian files, add /man/Makefile.am and the manual.
