Pick a graphics card from the list on this page:

AWESOME!!
P-3 600 MHz, 1.5 GB RAM, GeForce 2 MX 400 64 MB RAM, 1280X1024 Res. This thing Rox.
Now, all we need is a full 3D desktop environment: File Manager, Desktop, everything. That would move everyone over to Linux quick.
Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0"
My XFree86 logs show that XFree86-DRI was loaded. Here's the full error when I start 3ddesktopd:
bash-2.05b$ ./3ddeskd
Could not find more then one virtual desktop!
Daemon started. Run 3ddesk to activate.
bash-2.05b$ Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
3ddeskd: glXIsDirect failed, no Direct Rendering possible!
3ddeskd: Please configure hardware acceleration. Exiting.
Hardware:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86C270-294 Savage/IX-MV (rev 13).
This is XFree86 4.3.0.
Thanks a lot.
