Sell it and get a better card.  The P9x00 isn't likely to have the sort of
support that the S3 family has for a long time, if ever.

People reading this looking for a good card for X; _anything_ with an S3
part on it, even those cheezy "Trio 64" parts, is a good buy.  I haven't
heard _any_ of the X gurus suggest anything else might be better at
this point in time.
