I have a Radeon VE card and have been dissapointed by the support for it under Linux. The dual display feature does not work (you can only use one output). The driver does not work unless you use a frame buffer by enabling that in the kernel. If you dont enable that, it will lock up your computer upon starting of X. When a card is described as "supported", take that to mean the bare minimum of features are supported. The card is awesome under windows and I wish I could say the same about Linux but that is just not the case. -- Jeremiah Mahler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
