IIRC, the Oxygen cards had a Cirrus VGA core (I had one in my Alpha
too).  You may have luck with the Cirrus driver, though you would have
to verify the chipset model through a PCI scanner or something of that
sort.  Another complication is that the VGA core may only have 1MB or
less of video RAM dedicated to it.  Unfortunately that Oxygen chip is
from back when 3Dlabs wasn't even 3Dlabs yet, and it's very unlikely
that we will ever see documentation for it.
