Eehee. I like to live dangerously ;-) Seriously, I searched around
quite a lot before I decided to make that try. This video card is not
mentioned anywhere!

I patched kernel 2.6.34-rc3 - and it works here. Simple opengl stuff
(including mplayer display) works just right. Openarena also plays
smoothly (but I am not a gamer myself).

Suspend-to-disk has a problem. It suspends OK, but when restarting, I
get a black screen. But this for me is not urgent. 

Thanks a lot - and I won't disappear. If you need testing, please ask
