Yes. It's limited to 1280x1024, i.e. only useful for installation and
anything that didn't need a graphics card in the first place. The ati
foss driver was much faster with the phenom graphics than nouveau on the
extra card. Come to think of it, time flies and it may have been 2 years
since I last had a good play with it, so I'll revisit that at the next
opportunity.
