I'm really surprised that no one has suggested Nvidia's riva/tnt chipset. As far as I know it is now the only card with open source 3D drivers. my $.02 rimez
I tried an ATI Xpert@Play (mach64) on VIA VP3 and VIA MVP3 based motherboards with AMD K6 CPUs. I had constant screen glitches with all combinations - not just on Linux but on Win95 too. Win95 also locked up frequently in many video games of a wide range of different types.
The latest drivers for Win95 did nothing to alleviate the situation.
As I discovered only too late, the fine print in the ATI documentation states that their cards are only supported for use with Intel CPUs and Intel motherboard chipsets. Draw your own conclusions...
Looks like Diamond 4Mb Viper 330 AGP OEM or 8Mb Matrox Mystique AGP G200 OEM will do the job. Think that means the SVGA driver (according to the SuSE hardware database).
There's a video chip on the motherboard that I'm looking at that uses an SiS driver but I get the impression that they a bit slow when compared with the above. I've used a TX-Pro II board with Windows 98 and it's a bit trashy (to be polite), this board is similar to the one that I intend to use. Don't think SuSE linux will like it at all.
