That would be the Diamond Stealth 64 Video VRAM. I like mine. :) The VRAM has a S3-964 and a Ti 3025 RAMDAC. It should work now with the XFree86 3.1.1 S3 driver. The Video VRAM has a S3-968 and a Ti 3026 RAMDAC. For the S3-968, the 3.1.1u2 S3 driver works with Linux now. One of the commercial outfits claim to have a working driver for it. They have (or had) a demo available via ftp. > Wait for the next release of XFree86 (or ask the XFree86 folks) there is > support in 3.1.1A and later for this card, but I don't know if that is > a public release yet. According to a recent exchange with Harald Koenig of XFree86 S3 driver fame, this updated driver, and other goodies will not be available for FreeBSD until they release 3.1.2 sometime in the next month or two. -- Jan Isley coordinator, usenet volunteer votetakers
