I use a S3virge/DX in my P3-500MHz box built from upgrade scraps..
You know, the kind you get to take home after you upgrade someone else's box...
Mine has no tv-out port, but it runs fine in DSL, no special settings at boottime..

I usually run it at 800x600x32 (probably downshifts to 24, since it only has 4 megs )

Very useable, only sometimes do I get some trash characters
after a warm boot...

What issues are you having specifically?
Do you have the option in your bios to have an IRQ enabled for VGA ?
