The Trio64 S3 764 chipset has become exceptionally popular of late, and
given its price/performance ratio, I'm not at all surprised.  Drivers are
readily available from www.s3.com, and I'm currently using build level
3.03.01, having just updated from build 2.84.13 (no obvious difference
between them, however). 
You didn't specify exactly what S3 chipset your card uses, but s3.com has
drivers for all of them.  A word of advice though, you MUST have 2Mb or
more of VRAM in order to use the higher resolutions and colours.

If you don't have access to the internet, and can't source these drivers
elsewhere, let me know and we'll work something out (my boss can make them
available for freq, for example)...

Regards, Bill
