I have tested the driver which we have at the repository, with an old Mach64, but it didn't work, card id is (from syslog): KERN: PCI: vendor 1002: ATI Technologies Inc KERN: PCI: device 4755: 3D Rage II+ 215GTB [Mach64 GTB] i am planning to have a look at, to the near future, but i am still at the beginning:) > Regards, > > Gerald Bye, Vasilis
