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.
