A fair graphics card, but with poor 2D acceleration compared to my Matrox Mystique 220.

• ASUS Graphic Card Software Reference for English Edtion (e3325)
• ATi Series Users Manual for English Edition

  • Doesn’t have anything for Linux.

• linux downloads

  • Doesn’t seem to have any useful archives.
• Review

• PCLinuxOS > wiki – Setting up the ATI driver

  • Download and install the drivers (Run the console X config tool they suggest), run XFdrake and re-select the card, restart X.
  • docs – SetupAti

• 2021-06-22 — Finally retired it, and in doing so I noticed that I knocked off a component; oh well.
• 2005-08-23 — Switched back to my Matrox Mystique 220

• (date not recorded) — Bought. Switched to this from my Matrox Mystique 220

Notes ∞

(date not recorded)

• SVGATextMode just explodes.. I can’t get a decent mode to use.

• (date not recorded) — The fan died and it kept on running. Now graphics acceleration is alternately not usable or hangs the system. I replaced the non-working fan with a passive cooling system.. but much later I realized I probably didn’t need to bother. Sigh.

  • Has issues with World of Warcraft vs Starcraft, requiring different video drivers for each.
