I'm expecting most replies to be the along the lines of "lol" and "are you insane"... but here goes.
I have had a FireGL 1... yes, 1. drop into my possession.
The only Linux Driver listed for this card was released back in 2001... and was for XFree86 4.0.2.
Does anybody know if
A: the driver from that time period would work on X.org
B: if there is any known Linux driver supporting DRI for this card.
I went looking for information on the IBM Oasis GPU that the card is reported as using, but x.org does not appear to have any information listed. Yes, I realize that it would probably be much better to just not use the card, but part of me wants to put this thing on display.
