This version is now installed:

*  x11-drivers/xf86-video-s3
      Latest version available: 0.5.0
      Latest version installed: 0.5.0
      Size of files: 234 kB

      Description:   X.Org driver for s3 cards
      License:       xf86-video-s3

and results are the same as before:
.
.
(EE) s3(0): No V_BIOS found
.

s3 card integrated at sometime in the past. See 82791. Suspect
problem is in xorg-server itself. Not in the driver
