Kwilizwe lesoftware, asinakuthi into ifile de umvelisi wayo abhengeze ukuba bayayishiya okanye bayeke iprojekthi. Into enje yenzekile nge-GParted, isoftware eyaziwayo yomphathi wokwahlula ukuba, emva kwethutyana kunye neminyaka eli-15 emva kokukhutshwa kwayo okokuqala, ifikeleleke kuhlobo 1.0. Ngubani ongafikelelanga kuhlobo lwe-1.0 kodwa uvukile kwiminyaka esixhenxe kamva ibinguye Abaqhubi be-S3 Graphics nguX.ORG.
Akukhange kube ngaphantsi kweminyaka esixhenxe okoko kukhutshiweyo abaqhubi be-S3 Graphics kwaye, emva kwexesha elide, besinokucinga ukuba abaphuhlisi bayo bayishiyile le projekthi, kodwa khange bayenze. Izolo ngolwesine ikhuphe uhlaziyo lwe-xf86-yevidiyo-s3 entsha kodwaNjenge-GParted, ayikafiki inguqulelo ye-1.0 yesoftware, kodwa into abasinike yona yayiyi-v0.7.0. Inguqulelo entsha ilandela i-v0.6.5 eyiyeyona sasiyifumana kwiLinux ukusukela ngo-2012.
Ngoku kukho inguqulelo entsha yeS3 Graphics driver, xf86-video-s3 0.7.0
YayinguKavin Brace, umthombo ovulekileyo obenegalelo owaziwayo ngokusebenza kumqhubi weVIA OpenChrome kunye nezinye "iivini" zemithombo evulekileyo yemithombo yemifanekiso, ekhuphe i-xf86-video-s3 0.7.0, inguqulelo entsha, njengoko unokufunda kuyo esi sixhobo, akezi neendaba ezibaluleke kakhulu. I-Brace iphethe nje loo nto, ukulungiselela nokuqalisa abaqhubi be "vintage" kunye ne-S3 Graphics, iminyaka esixhenxe ngaphandle, inokuthathwa njengaleyo.
Umsebenzi we-Brace ukhokelele kulungiso oluthile ukujongana nezilumkiso zomhlanganisi kunye nokusetyenziswa kwefayile yeheda ehlisiweyo. Abanye abanikeli beX.Org bajongile neminye imicimbi yokudityaniswa, README uhlaziyo lwefayile kunye nezinye iziseko. Oku ikakhulu kukukhutshwa kwesondlo ukuvumela umqhubi we-S3 X.Org ukuba ahlanganise kunye neenguqulelo ezintsha zeseva ye-xorg.
