Perhaps I'm just missing something... could you give the lspci or superprobe response for it? I'm pretty darn certain I've been using an 8 MB ATI Rage Mobility under 3.3.6. But I have the feeling there's more than one instance of their chipset that they gleefully call "mobility". The one I have access to calls itself Mobility-P (I think - my hubby has it right now).

I recently encountered a case where the thing wouldn't work at all in any mode but 1024x768. Annoying, until I figured that out. If I wanted the "lesser" pixel states, I had to use the unaccelerated SVGA driver which, curiously enough, worked fine at all sizes. * Heather Stern * star@ many places...
