  Yes, I've S3 ViRGE databook. And maybe a still working card ;)
  Two years later I do some work on KGIcon drivers (for GGI project). 2D accel
stuff like lines, etc. And try to do some basic 3D too. Nothing special, only
lines and triangles were working. The driver used IOCTLs instead of DMA
transfers.

  Probably, I'll will try to do some work on it in my spare time.
However, first of all I'd like to ask:

1) Are there any people who will be using this driver?
2) Are there any people who want to work on it too? My experience in
this area is minimal, so someone more experienced should be helpfull.
3) Are there any template files which I could use? Maybe Mach64 ones?

Speaking of old hardware, in addition to my RagePRO, I also have a PCI s3
virge, which I think has a Utah driver that's yet to be ported to dri. 
Anybody have docs on that one? ;)

Some of us happen to have those chips as well.  Suffice it to say, I would 
like to get the RagePRO driver going so that I can move to another project 
involving that chip.

About time- if only the other brands would follow suit.

And since when do laptops come with swappable video cards? Most of us here
who are interested in the Mach64 development are interested because we have
laptops that we would like to see 3D working on. Usually, it'd be rather
difficult to desolder one of those nice 300 pin surface mount chips and
solder another one on, even if it were pin compatible (yeah, right...).
Basically, we'd like to see 3D work on these laptops. At least we don't
have those Trident CyberBlade Ai/1's
