I found mine in woody :-). It wasn't able to auto-config worth anything on my card, but it did identify the card and give me a config file to start with. Then 'less <backed up config from 3.3.6>' and 'vim /etc/X11/XF86Config' got it working quite well (my only problem now is getting 1280x1024 while still having 1024x768 and 800x600 enabled). -D
