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

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? ;)

Yes, I understand that. That's not the point I was making, or what
Your depth is 24. 3D depths are only 16bit and 32bit. The Mach64 is
really not powerful enough to handle 32bit (which is what 24 yeilds in
XFree86 4.1). I'm not even sure if the driver supports 32bit depth, but
it's not a good idea anyway. Plus you're going to get better overall
quality
