I have an Xpert @work 98 (PCI 8MB) and it works fairly good in X, not so good in console yet (SVGAlib support is iffy/depreciated, fb is still being worked on) There is a GLX (3D hardware acceleration/opengl) module in development at utah-glx.openprojects.net (I think) which I found while looking for Matrox info, interestingly enough. On my K6/233, my framerate jumped from about 0.2fps with software rendering to about 37fps with hardware acceleration (as according to the gears demo in the Mesa source) I hear the AGP cards work better (but you neet the agpgart support from the development kernel) but I have none to test. And 16bpp seems to be a bit faster on the rendering. Hope this helps. > > I am getting a new system (Intel Celeron 466), and want a card that will work > well with that and a 17" monitor.
