this is the last email i'll send to this list today... i promise :) On the xfree86 site it says that as of version 4.2.0 there is support for Radeon chips by the "ati" driver: http://www.xfree86.org/current/Status6.html#6 so hopefully this means that it is supported in the new beta.. if there is any success (or horror) stories installing on a powerbook g4 with this card, please post thanks again mike
