It's certainly not a wonderful card, but I have used something similar for a Mythbox. It does support Xv, although when I was playing with it the interlaced driver with Xv was broken. I had to use the GATOS drivers to get around that bug, IIRC. Check the /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see if it contains the line:When I run lspci I get the following
VGA Compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage IIC AGP (Rev 7a)
My XF86Config-4 file has several references to ATI, but nothing more specific than that.
I tried some google searches on the lspci output, but didn't find anything helpful.
(II) Loading extension XVideo
Also, check to see that the output of 'xvinfo' displays something other than, "No adapters present," or whatever. Should be lots of stuff like:
X-Video Extension version 2.2
screen #0
Adaptor #0: "ATI Radeon Video Overlay"
number of ports: 1
port base: 61
operations supported: PutImage

Also worth noting...I've used Celeron-flavord machines before, but it was a dual-CPU beast at 450MHz. You will probably be able to play on a single Celeron, but there won't be much left over.
