I can say the same thing for my ATI RagePro. I've never before had a
video card so trouble and "quibble" free-- XFree 3&4 work flawlessly at
all depths and sizes, svgalib-based programs work as designed, there's
glx, never had any weird/unexplained crashes or failures, etc. And it
was affordable too.

Under no circumstances should you buy an S3 "Savage"/Trio3D card. The
word "doorstop" comes to mind.
