Speaking of such things, I've a couple of older computers with S3 Savage 4 and i810 chipsets. The man page for the Savage one proclaims that acceleration is enabled by default, but I see no evidence of it. Nor that manually specifying it be enabled, enables it. Likewise, the i810 man page proclaims it's supported in 16-bit colour mode, but again I see no evidence of it. I know neither of them are fantastic chipsets, and luckily I'm not into gaming, but at least some 3d acceleration would be appreciated. Unfortunately, the i810 chipset ones are on-board systems, with no AGP slot. I just can't bothered with the expense of major hardware upgrades. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.)
