I had the exact same problem a few years ago. I was just starting my GNU/Linux
'experience' with Red Hat 6.0, and I couldn't get my 3DImage975 to work
properly. I searched all over the place, but I couldn't find a solution at the
time. I finally caved in and changed my video card to a Matrox Millennium II,
which has worked like a champ ever since.
