It should work. It should be recognized as an EB164. From the GENERIC config file: options "DEC_EB164" # EB164, PC164, PC164LX, PC164SX > Also do you plan to support S3 or other cards in Future Releases ? I *think* your S3 should work right now. I've been running X on an S3-ViRGE in an AS200 for a few months now, at least. You'll need the patches at http://www.freebsd.org/~dfr/ when you build the X server. If you read the mailing list archives, I believe at least one person has server binaries available.
