OMG, S3 ProSavageDDR has OpenGL or not?

Hi,
I tried using the official drivers from S3Graphics or even Viaarena however I noticed that it non of them have OpenGL ICD? It´s just horrible that I am able to get only DirectX Hardware acceleration, there must be a driver package/addon somewhere which has OpenGL (native), I have tried third party OpenGL solutions but none of them work good such as SchitechGLDirect. I´ve searched everywhere but had no luck.
There must be someone out there with a ProSavageDDR drivers which has hardware based OpenGL support, is there anyone?

Thanks in advance!

Well my ancient S3 Savage3D 8MB was able to run OGL titles (Half-Life was one of those).
Same UT99. Though these ran better through S3 Metal...
Hardware acceleration is only available under Win9x anyway since they discontinued support for any later OS.
