Hmm.  Well, I don't run Linux anymore (don't shoot me, please!  I'm
innocent, I swear!) and I changed my S3 968 to an ATI (god forbid,
probably the biggest mistake of my life) upon buying my Voodoo2.

Anyhow, there are patches which are supposed to correct the problem
Voodoo2 has with S3.  I don't know if they were ported to Linux, but
why don't you give www.3dfx.com a look-see?
