Anything special to consider when passing through a combo of S3 Virge and 3dfx Voodoo 2 to Win98 VM?

I am following the tutorial at https://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=94012 to set up a Win98 VM with GPU passthrough. The only difference for now being that I am passing through an S3 Virge 325 and a 3dfx Voodoo2 card on a PCIe 1x to 2 PCI slots adapter (Delock 90066). The cards are being recognized just fine, but if I want to use them as GPU passthrough there is no output. I only set the S3 card to "primary GPU". It doesn't work with only the S3 Virge, either.

Do I have to consider anything special when passing through old cards like that? I am blacklisting nvidia and amd cards, can I also blacklist S3 or 3dfx cards? Is that the issue?
What else could I not be thinking of?

My config looks like this:
Code:
# sound and input disabled for now
#-device adlib -device sb16
#-audiodev id=audio0,driver=pa,server=/tmp/pulse-socket -object input-linux,id=kbd1,evdev=/dev/input/event0 ->
