Hi,

Does any one have Ideas on the S3 VGA card and how good are they

I am trying to run WinTV from Win95 and also use the same card
for linux.

I have been informed that the S3 VGA cards are the best for WinTV
but are they supported in linux ?

May thanks

Mattz

I've always been happy with S3's under Linux. I've used an S3 Virge
and a 968. The speed is more than I need (ie, Quake is held back by
the processor, not the video card), the stability has been excellent,
the installation a breeze.

Even better, the S3's seem prepared for the future. The GGI person
who is doing the S3 drivers (Steffen Seeger) is friendly and seems an
utter guru.

I'd probably suggest an S3 over any other video card because of my
happy experiences.

S3 Virge is very good with Linux, for a low-end cheap card.
It's very annoying with Win95, though. Get the W95 driver setup
from www.s3.com-- don't use the MS default setup. Set the vertical
refresh rates higher to get the full screen width.
