Pity, I would think with S3 compatibility you'd be fine. I picked up a 4mb S3 clone card at the Trenton show two weeks ago, and it's fine. I'm using Mandrake 5.3 right now, which is basically RH5.2, and the Xconfigurator supports a long list of S3 cards. I can't remember the brand name of the card, it wasn't Jaton though ... something like PowerColor. Cost me $23.

Picked up a jaton card with a s3 chipset, and the thing won't work. Tried it in win95 and it'll only work in 640x480. Even tried to download the latest XFree86, which in my opinion is too complicated. The version that came with RH5.2 was short and sweet. Has anyone used the jaton card, it looks like the one I have isn't going to be compatible. I saw some on pricewatch.com with cirrus logic chip-sets, but is there more to the card than just the chip-set?
