I have had excellent luck with S3 Virge DX video cards. I have run them
on everything from Slackware to RH to Caldera to Mandrake, Solaris, SCO
UNIXWARE and SOLARIS with no problems. I am also using an S3 Virge MX
chip in my laptop and running RH6. Stay away from the S3 Trio AGP a lot
of people seem to have trouble with that one. I have never tried an
AGP card in Linux yet.
