Your only real option right now, though this will change soon, is a 3Dfx
Voodoo Banshee based board.  I think they make a PCI-based version of the
Voodoo3, but I'm not sure.  If not, look for a Voodoo Banshee, or look at
the Voodoo2 and a 2D card.

The Riva TNT cards are supported under X11, but there isn't really any 3d
support yet.
