Probably not.  You're confused by the old Diamond hassles, Jordan.

From the README.S3 (searching for all occurences of the word
`Diamond'), vanilla XFree86 3.1.1:

        S3 805, Diamond SS2410 RAMDAC, ICD2061A Clockchip
                Diamond Stealth 24 VLB
 
                        8 bpp only
                        requires Option "nolinear"


        S3 964, AT&T Bt485 RAMDAC, ICD2061A Clockchip
                Diamond Stealth 64

                        8, 15/16, 24(32) bpp

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
