Description: This is the standard card which came with the motherboard
It is not well supported in Linux, although some drivers are available at:
www.winischhofer.net/linuxsisvga.shtml
It's a fair bit of hassle to get 3d acceleration working, and once it is there are quite a few bugs (listed below). Having said that, it was quite cheap and works for most programs, albeit at a fairly low framerate.
If you don't want 3d support, it works fine straight out of the box.
Full screen glxgears @1024x768 - ~22fps
Problems:
FlightGear won't run due to "not enough video memory"
The penguin in Tuxracer shows up white
Text sometimes gets scrambled after using 3d
Celestia works nicely until you go anywhere near the earth when it loses all textures
