I had similar problems with a Trio64 under NT4 on a 164LX.  If you can 
find an old Permedia 2 card, it will work for 2D but not 3D on Linux.  I 
believe that under Tru64 it will work with 3D.  Matrox Millenium (2) 
cards should do well in Linux, but I don't remember how well they are 
supported under TRU64.  Currently, I am using an ATI Radeon 7000 DDR.
