    Although there is a driver for the 3DLabs GLINT R3 and Permedia3 chips, no one has tested it, so reports are welcome.

    2.3.1.2.12.5 nVidia cards

    + +

    There's a relatively new nvidia driver out there, it's known to work on Riva + 128, TNT and GeForce2 chipsets, also others have been reported working.

    + +

    It's recommended to use the binary nvidia drivers for X before using this + vidix driver, because some of the registers haven't been discovered which + need to be initialised, so it will probably fail with the opensource Xfree86 + nv.o driver.

    + +

    Reports awaited!

    +

    2.3.1.2.12.6 SiS cards

    + +

    This is a very experimental code too, as the nvidia_vid.

    + +

    It's been tested on SiS 650/651/740 (the most common chipsets used in the +SiS versions of the "Shuttle XPC" barebones boxes out there)

    + +

    Reports awaited!
