If you visit www.xfree.org and have a look at what is supported you will
find a large number of S3 based chipsets.
If a chipset is supported then it is also supported on AGP generally
speaking. The trick is getting a chipset with a bios that is supported
as well, an example is the Intel i740, it took me two cheap cards and
then an Intel card to get it working properly.
