For what it's worth, Warp and NT 3.51 work fine for me on a Graphics
Xpression, which is mach64.  (However you have to heed the
instructions and run the DOS setup program before configuring it on
Warp.  NT seems to deal with the board at a lower level, and doesn't
care.)  Most people find them fine under Linux (though there seem to
be some options in the X server that you have to get right, and you
have to use the newest software release), but I have the one
configuration that doesn't work under Linux (> 12 MB of memory on an
ISA machine.  I have to use the generic SVGA software, which doesn't
treat the board as accelerated).
