I'm using an STB Powergraph 3D, which uses the S3 ViRGE. As many others have stated, you must have XFree 3.2. For some reason my X server refuses to run 1024x768 with 16-bit color (I have 2MB ram). Other than that it works great! (I know the card/monitor can handle this res/depth because I use it in Win95.) -- Jens B. Jorgensen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
