FWIW, I have no use for computer games. I only need X to do more fundamental
duty, like many people in third world countries who are lucky to have any puter
at all.
Of my 20 working puters, 3 have motherboards newer than 3 years old, while the
newest video on any of them is 5 years old, with most closer to 10 years old,
mostly ET6100 and G400. The newest uses ET6100 and the next 2 newest use G400.
Tseng was second only to Trident (by only 1) in total number of native SVGA
text modes for DOS users provided, and was the sole provider of the 100 by 40
line mode that closely resembles framebuffer 0x314. All other cards I'm aware
of provided only 80, 132 or 160 column SVGA text modes. There are legacy
support features in old cards that have long since been abandoned in most newer
products, making them preferable to new products for many users, thus why my
newest and fastest puter uses ET6100.
ET6x00 cards were available with 1.0, 1.125, 2.0, 2.25, 3.5, 4.0, and 4.5 MB of
RAM. I've never encountered any with less than 2.0, nor any with 3.5. STB also
made them as the very common Lightspeed 128 models, used by Gateway mostly with
2.0MB or 2.25MB during their explosive growth years IIRC.
