unless someone beats me to it, I was planning on messing with the virge driver at some point going forward. I got a hold of the Duoview info from the virge databook, so I'm planning to add support for dualhead and probably mergedfb. after that I'll mess with the 3D driver. (does anyone know if there are databooks for the 3D stuff available anywhere? I heard that S3 released the virge databooks without an NDA. Also I seem to recall an SDK being available...) There are quite a few things on my plate right now (textured video for radeon, genericisizing mergedfb, etc.) though so I'm not sure when I'll get to it. plus I need to pick up an old virge mx first.
