Kernel claims to support it. Does it actually work? Well, that's a good
question. At any rate, broken USB would be a killer. I'll probably just
have to continue to be patient and hope Gareth runs into and squashes the
big and nasty bug that (many?) VIA users are seeing.
I've already run into a few bugs with this TNT2 that are known, reported,
and more or less ignored. That and its general lack of speed indicate
that I really don't want to use it much longer. It beats the crap out of
the Voodoo2 for most things though.
