    ATI Rage 128, 3Dfx, S3 Savage, Intel 810, SiS, VIA and Matrox MGA DRM drivers

    Those are some ancient cards! Can’t believe they’re supported this long.

      I still have a Rage 128 hanging around as a ‘temporary head’ for installing headless servers. Many happy nights playing Thief: The Dark Project with it, and now it’s only good for rendering a TTY at a barely acceptable resolution. And soon, not even that. Goodbye, little e-waste :-(

      That brings me back to my first PC build, 20 years ago, using parts my friends had discarded cause they were too old.
