Another possibility is to use the ATI All-In-Wonder line of
cards, the GATOS project support these for TV etc, but its
a very different beast, and you dont get the 3D things
from the woodoo either, only what the ATI Rage II/128 chip
can do (which is not supported in the free 3D world IIRC).
You do save a PCI slot though :)
