Well, I had got an ELSA Gloria graphics card in a Pentium 1 system at some point.
The original Gloria for PCI bus had a Permedia 2 (?) accelerator for OpengGL (+HEIDI, Powerlib) and a ViRGE 325 for VGA (for OS and BIOS support) and DirectX/S3D..

That is of course not a Permedia 2, she wouldn't have any need for the extra S3 chip.

Thanks for the hint! Must have been an older chip, an precursor then (GLINT something). ^^
