ATI submitted the support patches for this hardware to us for testing a few days prior to submitting to XFree86.org for inclusion in official XFree86 sources. Red Hat Linux XFree86 4.1.0 contains these patches which provide support for the TF card, as well as various other cards. All of this code is in the official 4.2.0 release also. If you'd like, I can email you the ATI support patch from our sources. TTYL -- Mike A. Harris Shipping/mailing address: OS Systems Engineer 190 Pittsburgh Ave., Sault Ste.
