I'm running a G200 Mill under XF86_SVGA. I think you will find it just
supports
the basic MGA_MILL acceleration features. It does fly along though.
I fitted a 40mm Ball raced cpu fan to the heatsink on mine, as it gets
as
hot as hell. Especially if you play anything that uses 3d on it.
Great card though.
BUT if anyone is interested, I did an eval on the G200 Mystique TVOUT
at 1024x768. Bloody excelent. Best and most stable PAL output from a PC
I have ever seen. I'm now using it in a shopping centre with 8 76cm TV's
for promotional material.
For $300, good value cards.
