I guess this card is TECHNICALLY complitable with Linux but I had some issues getting the 3d driver installed. I ran the rpm at the command prompt but it said there was a conflict with another rpm package on the computer and wouldn't install. Granted, I'm very new to linux.

Drivers are not - open source - so it is quite difficult task for the newbie to "taint" the kernel to them... After the intallation (the Linux drivers of course are not included) it worked well until I've entered one of the consoles (by CNTR+F1) when i was back - "edges" of all pictures on the screen (i mean pass from one color to another and that line, that divided two colors) was all covered by random-colored pixels - noise... (it is VERY bad for thouse who often goes into consoles). But the perfomance is really great...

I got the card to work with the ATI Driver Installer v8.22.5. It hasn't given me any problems at all. The performance is great. I would definitely recommend this card.
