Its not Linux's fault here nor the developers of Linux,

Its S3's fault i see the same with the ATi Cards radion etc etc

they dont release thier cards specs nor do they write drivers for linux

Its specifically the hardware vendor's fault.

For 3d stuff you wont go wrong with Nvidia ( Its a shame other h/ware
vendors dont do the same ).
