I am running a mystique 2 4mb, is damn fast, with both windows and Xfree86, it is a good fast 2d card.
BUT It does not support a lot of the lower VESA2 resououtions (eg 400x300), this will not cause any problems with linux, but in dos\windows stuff it can be a real sh*t. - especially with games and PC-Demos (not game demos) - and scitech dd only just helps to recitfy this problem some of the time - ie hardly ever. some programs have difficulty accesing the liner farme buffer, and hence hang the machine. (again not linux specific) its direct X, 3D accel. is naf, again not a problem with linux. despite ati's refusal to release info, i believ the rage pro series do run Xfree, the windows drivers are ok - the new drivers will be very welcome tho. direct X 3D accel is very damn good, and full vesa 2 support.
