4. Nvidia still leads the pack in driver features for Linux/Unix and
AMD64/EM64T/IA32:

5. 3Dlabs mainly uses XiG.com for the Wildcat VP/Wildcat4/GV* video
drivers for Linux/Solaris. There are no consumer available video
drivers for Linux/Solaris for the Wildcat Realizm series

Note: Read the XiG Summit document carefully as for Solaris 10b72 ->
10b74 usage and other related issues. Also read this link for XiG
older laptop summit (v.2.2-19) series:

ftp://ftp.xig.com/pub/Summit/solaris/laptop/Summit_LX-Solaris.txt

The new video drivers coming out mainly support:
- AMD64/EM64T (IA-32 64-bit extensions)
- OpenGL Shader language (GLSL)
- OpenGL 1.4 (XiG/Matrox)/1.5 (Nvidia/ATI)
- X.Org 6.8.x

Note: Other features for specific vendors are: >=512MB framebuffers,
and AGP/PCIe stability issues.

Hope that helps even things out,
