FWIW - drivers working okay with Mandrake 8.1. - well at least Tuxracer (free version) works :smile:

The install procedure is a bit hairy though - hopefully they will come up with something a bit more user-friendly plus generic enough for all distributions/kernels soon.

Note this was a fresh install of Mandrake on my Kyro PC and havn't had a chance to try and break anything yet (such as kernel upgrade.)

Does anyone know of any smallish (56K here ) demos/benchmarks to try?

With Mandrake 8.1 + these drivers on my box, X locks up when run, no option but hardware reset . Big suspician: motherboard with AMD761 northbridge + VIA 686B southbridge. Or me.
