Probably would depend on a few things, but I have that exact ATI card (the author asked about PCIe cards) in my system, and it works for me without a second thought. No extra packages or drivers to install. D-I brought up X and I didn't even have to answer any questions. Drives my Dell FPW2005 panel like a champ. I experience no lockups or any other kind of hardware or software problem. One thing I like about it is that X initializes and comes up very fast. Caveat: I don't do any significant 3D; this is a development workstation. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
