I'm running a 1600SW on my linux box with a NNR IV AGP, and it works great
under X - as a matter of fact, X is GORGEOUS. If anyone needs the custom
config file that I used, let me know.
Seeing how the #9 uses the ticket-to-ride chipset (which has ZERO open g/l
suppor) I might consider buying a multilink adapter in the future so I can
go back to a GeForce card.
(BTW: To find that PCI card, check eBay or nine.com. The forums in
nine.com have people trading cards all the time)
