Looking for an OpenGL driver to run on an S3 Graphics Pro Rage card - help! Have already tried S3 themselves and the PC vendor who said go to S3. Thanks.

I haven’t heard of that brand–I didn’t think S3 made a “Pro Rage.” There is an ATI Rage Pro, however. It’s a very old card–if that’s what you have you’re out of luck. It barely does 3d acceleration. An OpenGL driver would not help you much.

If there is an S3 Graphics Pro Rage, it’s probably not something new and you’re most likely out of luck. Sorry.
