STB Nitro3D S3 ViRGE/GX or some such.  It supposedly is a fairly nice
card, but it was pre-installed in the machine, which itself is getting
close to 2 years old.  (^&  (It does have some 3D features, as the name
implies, and is among those cards supported by XF86_S3V.  But I don't
think that anyone's done any clever 3D support for it under X/Mesa.)


Question: Why does Mesa work well without GLX, while OpenGL has a fit?
