I have one.  While not the best performer in the world, I can run a 
quite smooth Beryl desktop using this card.  You do not need to compile 
any drivers for this one. just follow the clues on the User FAQ about 
installing the modules that free built.

Give it a shot, and if you run into trouble, drop a mail and we'll help 
you out.  I can do it almost with my eyes closed now...

Cheers,
