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 :-(

Frame it and hang it on the wall.

Surround it with the box art of the games it powered so many years ago for extra nostalgia power
