I work for IBM in the Netfinity Server line, and my understanding is the S3
Trio 3d card doesn't work consistently with Xfree. Of course that's the
chipset we use on a few of our systems.
We 'support' Linux on the NF line and my main Linux guru always says to put
in a third party card and no &*$# with it. he's one of the guys that
helped design that 256 Linux cluster up in New York State somewhere, so I
trust him.
So, I'd say, get another vid. card.
