Is there any reason why you have to have support for that card? AFAIK, there is no documentation available for that card, and the company that made the chip no longer exists (at least not in its previous form). Not only that, there are MUCH better cards available for PCI and AGP that perform many orders of magnitude better. I seem to remember that this card can't even play the original GLQuake at a decent frame rate.
I don't *need* DRI/OpenGL support for the card, but it would be incredibly nice to have it. Right now it is in my current setup, driving my SGI 1600SW flat panel and is the only AGP card that will drive that monitor without using SGI's Multilink Adapter (expensive, $450+ on eBay). It's an excellent display, and has Xfree support, so I am not really about to part with it. The 1600SW is hands down the best flat panel at an affordable price that I have seen.
If you can scare up documentation and extra hardware (to loan someone), you might be able to find someone to do some work on it. I believe that David Bronaugh was planning to do some work on an i740 driver over the summer. Perhaps with hardware & documentation, he might be convinced to work on this driver instead.
As far as paying for a driver to be written, it would realisticly cost way more than buying a whole new system with a new flat pannel. Unless you have a whole lab full of them, like Mike said.
