S3 Virge DX OpenGL Driver

Does anyone know where I can find a working opengl driver for the S3 virge DX. Any help would be appreciated.

S3 DX only supports Windows OpenGL software mode using C:\Windows\System\OpenGL.dll. Pretty crapy. You need a card with hardware OpenGL. The least expensive card which has such support is the ATI Expert 98. The integrated OpenGL ICD driver for that card can be found here: http://support.atitech.ca/drivers/3drage_pro.html
Every other answer of so called experts is gibberish and self congratulating nonsense!

He's right. My GX can run any opengl app out there. a Mesa CD makes the screensavers rocket. Quake and Quake II rocket too (but the benchmarks are wrong)

Hi folks,
sorry to bother, but some of us are still desperately looking for openGL drivers for the S3 Trio 3D/2X chipset, which by default does not support openGL. The S3 or Diamond sites are of no help at all. Where can we get a working driver for our card and chipset? Thanks for mailing me: bliemsr@dwelle.de

The altOGL and scitech opengl drivers will work with any direct3d compatible card. The Altogl driver can be found at http://www.altsoftware.com or at my website under the article 'quake beyond the virge' at http://powerusr.freeyellow.com and the scitech driver (which is only shareware and disables itself after 30 days) can be found at www.scitechsoft.com. Both of these will work with the trio and Intel 740 boards, as well as the Virge, however both have their weaknesses. The altogl driver is good for most applications, but needs dx6 to operate at it's best, while the Scitech driver is rather slow, and must be paid for in order to work after the 30 day trial period. Both of these drivers will run Quake and Quake II with eye candy (You didn't buy the virge for speed, did you?) with a decent frame rate. They also will run other new opengl applications. I hope this helps.
