Is there any support for this VGA Card

The entire S3 Savage family has proven itself to be crap. I'd recommend trying to find a ViRGE card instead.
The Virge is made by S3! J/k - I know what you are sayin'!! :)
To clarify ;) : The ViRGE family has been around for at least three years (that's as far back as my memory goes), and is very well supported. To my knowlege, the ViRGE family maxed out at 8MB on the card, but I could be mistaken about that. The ViRGE family also has some support for hardware-assisted 3D rendering by the Utah-GLX project.
But I must agree, the Savage support in Linux ain't good. In a certain other OS it is extremely good for the price.
I'm not an S3-hater, but the Savage family SUCKS if you're not running Windows9x. -- -=|JP|=- "Why, oh, why didn't I take the blue pill?"
