I guess alot of people still have (old) computers with
virge chips in them.

I used to play glquake on my s3virge (using an old
mswindows mesa driver) so it would be nice to get it
working under linux/DRI.

A week ago i did some testing myself and atleast got
as far as accessing the virge registers and framebuffer
using a drm kernel module.

Also looked at the mesa & X part of it but i haven't
understood how everything there works yet. Not enough
to start putting in code from the utah-glx driver.
