     21   The s3virge driver in X11R7.5 supports the S3 ViRGE, ViRGE DX, GX,
     22   GX2, MX, MX+, and VX chipsets. It also supports Trio3D and Trio3D/2x
     23   chips. A majority of testing is done on ViRGE DX chips, making them
     24   the most stable to date. This release has added support for doublescan
