  1.  Supported hardware

  The s3virge driver for Xorg supports the S3 ViRGE, ViRGE DX, GX,
  GX2, MX, MX+, and VX chipsets. It also supports Trio3D and Trio3D/2x
  chips. A majority of testing is done on ViRGE DX chips, making them
  the most stable to date. This release has added support for doublescan
  modes on DX.

  This driver is moderately stable, however please use caution with any
  new install. Please report any issues at
  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-s3virge/issues
