Which doesn't make much difference anyway, because the state of some of those drivers were absolutely terrible in some cases. For example, I have an old ThinkPad T23 laptop sitting around, it has a S3 Savage integrated graphics adapter. However, for several years now, X.Org has not been able to use the maximum resolution on the monitor with ANY driver AT ALL, and using the savage driver causes X to crash every 5 minutes or so. I once tried running CentOS 5 and Debian Lenny on it, both worked fine as far as I remember (Using one of those is not an option for me, as I have some USB peripherals that needs newer driver support), but anything newer takes a big dump. So I'm running with the VESA driver on this old fellow, which works fine for what I need (X.Org, Xfce, Firefox and some terminals) it to do.

For Linux there's a decent program called I Hear You (IHU), very simple program, GPL-licensed etc., you can find it at http://ihu.sourceforge.net/
