From the X386 FAQ:

6. What about accelerated boards?

	At this time, there is no support in XFree86 for accelerated boards
	like the S3, ATI Ultra (8514/A), TIGA, etc.  This support is available
	in commercial products from SGCS and MetroLink (for SVR3 and SVR4).

	An S3 server is available for 386BSD and Linux.  Contact
	<hasty@netcom.com> for 386BSD or <jon@robots.ox.ac.uk> for Linux.

	A beta 8514/A server is available for Linux. Contact
	<martin@cs.unc.edu> or <jon@robots.ox.ac.uk>. Note: these servers
	are NOT part of XFree86.

So, before I make any final choice on what to spend Sipb's money on,
I'm very open to suggestions.

-Thal.
