Surely! It's an ATI XPERT(tm) 98, the 8-MB PCI version. UPC sticker says
"XPERT 98 NA PCI 8M 100-419031 / 7 27419 40420 4". Says it's "Designed for
Windows 95/98" but worked *absolutely* flawlessly (100% autodetected) under
RHL 6.1.
The only gotcha I've run into so far with it is that I haven't figured out
the magic strings to insert into XF86Config to make it work in 1600x1200x32bit
mode -- defaults to 1600x1200x16bit and errs when I try to set it to 32bit.
Scrolling and window dragging speed is dang fast. Haven't tried out the
gaming engine, I just wanted something solid for simple 2D work.

| (...) Cool, I will probably look into it. (...) I'm bummed right now because I can't run at more than 1280x1024 at 75Hz, not because my video cards or monitor won't do it, but because the Sybex 4-port switchbox I use doesn't handle anything higher (...)
