I am using the same card on 2 of my systems and have never had any X
problems
from them with any distro that I have installed.
You should be able to use it with full 3-D accel, I do.
I, when given the options such as with Mandrake will set the card as the
Rage Fury
AGP because basically that is what the 2000 is, but it also runs just as
well
if set-up as the generic Rage128..
Is there any other device on your system that is using the same IRQ as
your vid card?
