- I am going to put together a 486 class machine and naturally I want to
- run linux on it. I'd like to go Local Bus and have seen that ACTIX
- makes one. My Questions:
-
- 1. What is the differences between the different S3 chips. Here's ones
- I've seen in the Actix product line.
-
- s3 P86c805 Actix Graphic Engine 32VL (local bus)
- s3 P86c801 Actix Graphic Engine 32 (isa)
- s3 P86c911 Plain Jane 911
- s3 P86c911a Actix Graphic Engine 1280 TC (isa)
- s3 P86c924 Actix Graphic Engine VGA(isa)

- 2. And which can we expect to see supported by Linux?
