James, ...

This is not a permedia2 board. it is a delta+tx combo, while the permedia2
chip had the delta core on die.

I don't know even if it is a permedia chip (i think the glint R1 are another
name for permedia1, but i suppose that glint delta is only one chip, which may
or may not be a permedia1 chip).

What does lspci or scanpci say about it ?

I guess that what really happens here is that you have one delta chip, which
comprise just a geometry setup unit and some other 3d stuff, not really used
for fbdev, and a 500TX rasterizer coupled with the S3 virge ramdac possibly,
and this is what you would want to address. 

The X server does have support for this kind of config, so you could look
there for inspiration if you want.
