Does current version of XFree86 X-server supports

You can check the xfree86.org web page or the suse.de web page for current
lists of supported software.

Yes sir it definitely is. However, with that particular
card sometimes I see "static" on my screen when I have
text scrolling throught my rxvt's. Nothing overly
annoying, just something I notice.

By the way, is there any reason why you aren't going for
another video card? I bought this one as a stop gap
until I can pick up something like a Banshee. Honestly
the 2d speed is only on par with the Matrox Millenium
I I had in my previous system. (Yes, I'm running

For a few dollars more, I'd definitely JUMP at a
Banshee based card if the support for Xfree is
halfway decent (time to kick Matrox around and
have them release specs docs to support Mesa).

Just for reference:
I have an ATI 3D Rage Pro 8MB card. It seems to work fine with the Mach 64
driver in Linux X. I don't know about any special accelerated options
but I do remember that I needed to include these mystic tidbits into my
x config file that I found by searching at S.u.S.E.'s excellent site.
