This card is fully supported under many versions of many linux distros, it uses the mach64 driver and I've never had any issues with it. This is a perfectly fine cheap 2D card.

RH installed the MACH64 driver with it but I still didnt like the resolution. I tried using the Utah driver with linux and I was able to get up to 1280x1024 resolution.

Very nice for an el cheapo 2D video card.

No big problems as such.. but when i included frame-buffer support into my custom kernel.. during bootup it gave me a blinking cursor everytime for 10-15 secs and would load normally.So I removed frame-buffer support..and configured it using #xorgconfig it works flawlessly with generic ati drivers.

Hey guys, where can I grab a driver for linux for that card. Fedora only lets me go to 800x600 without one and it's getting pretty annoying. I'm gonna go google it further, but so far just going to ATIs site, I didn't find it.

Thanks for the help!

This 'card' seems to be embedded on a used Optiplex gx1 Dell I purchased recently. Works okay, but text isn't very legible during the install. Choose the Normal install! (The other option -- VESA -- results in nearly illegible text within the MEPIS environment after booting.) It doesn't do a 'good' job of driving my old Viewsonic LCD monitor, but it's acceptable with tweaking.

Actually this is a 3D card... you just have to rebuild the DRM from upstream it used to have a security flaw in it but has since been fixed it hasn't merged back into xorg however

the card only supports opengl 1.2 and pretty slow it will run tux racer and just barely run openarena (with as much removed as possible)

For what it is its not a bad card at all

Its currently running in my Tyan Thuder 2 w/ dual PII @ 300Mhz and 512mb ram... impressive I know :-)
