I am upgrading my system at the end of the month. The video
card seems to be the hardest decision.... I suspect that
the Orchid VA/VLB (Vesa) card will be my choice. Is anyone
using this card with the S3 server? If so, let me know. I
would prefer to know that it works before buying the card... :-)
Alternatively, a local bus card which does 8514/A would be
nice, though I would prefer not to spend the money for
an ATI Ultra.
Yes, I use the VA/VLB with XS3. I had to add:
vendor "nolinear"
to my Xconfig to get it to work. I didn't do any benchmarks or
anything, but it seemed plenty fast enough to me.
