I have to disagree with this advice. I got this card to work by using
the SUSE xserver from their website. I further enhanced the speed of
this card and xwindows by downloading the Sci-Tech Display Doctor's
free linux compatible xserver. The set up was a breeze and now my
xserver is fine. The problem I found out from reading too late after
I'd bought the card was that RedHat does not support the SiS 6326 chip
set on the A50 card. SUSE wrote an xserver that does. So, too, does
the Sci-Tech xserver.
