The XDrawArc and XDrawArcs failures are expected, and are considered
acceptable.

The XSetFontPath problems may be configuration-related.  I don't see them,
and those code paths are certainly not driver-specific.

The XCopyArea failure looks like a real driver problem.  I'd suggest
starting by running just the specific tests that are failing (there's
information about how to do that in the NOTES.xf86 file), and add some
debugging messages to the relevant S3 accel function to trace what is
happening.

Thanks for doing the testing and reporting your results.

The platforms I've tested on so far have shown only a few minor issues,
some of which were issues with the test suite itself.  The test suite
issues have been addressed in xtest version 4.0.10, available at:
