Works with the official ATI FireGL 8800 drivers from ATI's website. DRI works too! OpenGL seems to be working fine.
Tested on Redhat 7.3 and Mandrake.

This card is not officially supported for Linux by ATI. No 3D drivers currently exist, except for the FireGL 8800 drivers (which do not work on newer distributions). Do not buy this card if you plan to use it with Linux.
