RE: S3 Virge AGP supported by XFree86?

1999-01-21 Thread Carlo U. Segre

 Does anyone know if XFree86 supports the AGP versions of the S3 Virge
 cards?  I'm looking to cheaply replace a fried Mystique and am wondering
 if I should go AGP or PCI.  I have checked the hardware compatibility
 list and it makes no reference to PCI/AGP, so I don't know if it even
 cares.
 Thanks,
  Michael
 

I have had no luck in getting such cards to work with XFree86-3.3.2 as is
in Debian 2.0 and the slink distribution.  It may be that these cards will
be supported in XFree86-3.3.3 but I have decided to go back to the S3
Virge PCI (no AGP) cards which do work with both the  xserver-s3v and
xserver-svga packages (the latter will permit you to install Staroffice
5.0, the former will not).

Cheers,

Carlo
