This card is definetly supported. Xfree86 didn't have support for it until
3.3.3 I believe. Last when I used Xfree86 3.3.6 I used the Mach64 xserver.
Now I'm running woody w/ Xfree86 4.0.1 and I set things up using dexter
(which is a very nice setup program) and selected ati from the menu and
everything works fine. This is on a gateway solo 2150 w/ pIII 450MHz, 160MB
RAM and Rage Mobility P/M card. Feel free to contact me privately if you want
more help.
