it is PCI and it is an ATI card.  the ATI card has 16mb of onboard =
memory.  i have an OLD Cirrus logic car that has 1mb of memory.  the =
cirrus card works like a charm...but i can still only get 640X420? =
resolution.  but i cant even get the ATI card to work.

Is this video card PCI or AGP video and how much memory does the card
have?  Some of the ATI video cards were not supported for a while
because of the problems trying to get the drivers to work correctly.  Do
you have another video card that you could try?  What distrubtion and
version of linux are you using?  ~Anne
