3DLABS Oxygen VX1-1600SW
I just recently traded for the VX1-1600SW. Its a nice little card that allows for 1600SW usage on Windows machines int the 9x and NT era. I would also like to see if it works on Linux.

RE: 3DLABS Oxygen VX1-1600SW
AFAIK, it should be supported on Linux with the "glint" X.org driver. You may need to set the "UseFlatPanel" option to "on" to use the 1600SW.

X.org docs here: https://www.x.org/releases/X11R7.7/doc/m...nt.4.xhtml

No.  There's no driver support for it under IRIX.  It was made for x86 machines.
