I've been using fc2 with a Dell Dimension 4400 with one of these cards without much trouble. The only thing was my cursor went black after testing some 3d screensavers that are in fc2. Here's my lspci output:

As far as I can see, FC2 was released when there were known unresolved bugs in the test releases.
In my view, it should have been delayed until these were fixed.
It seems to have been released because a release date had been fixed in advance.
That is a silly way to organise distributions.
I hope it will be changed.



It looks like with the fast schedule the fixes will be in the next release instead of fixing the current release. I'm just speculating though...
