Wow! Does it work with s3 virge/dx? It's too slow for using software
scaling (it can't throughput hi-res rgb image @30 fps), and can do some
kind of scaling in hardware (quickview pro for DOS can make a use of
it), not sure about yuv conversion.
I think DX/GX are similar (can't really remember) so you should try it
out. My card (GX2) seems quite capable, although I put this together
largely because my CPU is too slow for software scaling...
