Current XFree86 drivers do not recognize this card's chip identifier so have trouble automatically configuring this card. However, you can easily (??) get this card up and running on Linux anyway. The techniques work for any card sharing a common command set with another supported card; you just may not be able to access the latest and greatest features until the drivers catch up to the hardware.

There are two difficulties in getting this card configured: one is that the configuration utilities may not allow you to enter a "ChipId" for the driver, and the other is that without a proper run through the configuration utility you will not have a valid configuration file to add this field in. Here is an example configuration file to help you get started. Since most monitors are multi-sync, and modern monitors can be driven at fairly high frequencies, this configuration file should be about what you need. You can add in different resolutions and modify it for different scan rates, but choose ones which are compatible with the specs for your monitor. YMMV and don't blame me if you get it wrong. If you have additional information please let me know and I'll update this note.
