So I'm looking thought the XFree86 HOWTO and comparing the listed video
chipsets with some card specs from killerapp.com (THANKS ANDY!) and,
other than S3, none of them seem to match up.  Now, since many of us run
X-windows, I assume this means that:
 A) Many of the new chipset are compatable with the old ones
    i.e. Maybe the X-server for ATI MACH64 will run a ATI RAGE 128 card
 B) The howto is giving me a bunch of chipset numbers while
killerapp.com
    is giving me just names.
So, given a random chipset name from the net, such as 3Dfx Voodoo2, how
do
I find out if there is an X-server that will run it and if I can take
advantage of it's $216.93 worth of features with Linux?
