The S3 968 is used on the Stealth 64 Video VRAM models.
The S3 964 was used on the Stealth 64 VRAM models. Note the lack of the
word "Video" in the name.
However, Diamond has used different RAMDACs and clock synthesizers on
different production runs, and not all of them are supported by XFree.
I haven't tried the Number Nine 771 card. I use a Spider Tarantula 64,
which has an S3 964. Their newer Tarantula Mk II uses the 968.
Cheers,
Eric
