 Thanks for listening,

Not sure if this helps but I've got the Gainward fx5600 256mb working with 
Mandrake 10 official.  The nv driver has worked for me and I currently use the 
Nvidia 5336 driver.  The only thing I haven't tried to get working is dual 
monitor support (need to do some editing of the XF86Config-4 file to get it to 
work).
