I am considering purchasing an ATI MACH 64 graphics card. However, as
Linux does not yet have support for this card yet (I know there is
an Alpha driver available for those willing to be on the bleeding
edge of technology), I am wondering if I can use this card under
Linux in non-accelerated mode (e.g. as a Mach32 or whatever which
is supported). This will get me by for the meanwhile until Linux
can take advantage of the features of this new card.

Thanks for any help or advice you can provide.

The alpha driver is fairly stable. It is not an acclerated
driver though. I have been using it for a few weeks without
any problems.

Where can we find this alpha driver? Once I get Linux onto my 1Gig IDE disk
(LBA translation problems aside) I'll be trying to get X working with my
ATI Mach 64 card.

Cheers,
