The card has a sis6326 chipset. The Linux software tells me this is
supported, but will not properly recognize the card. For example, it has
the pa50 on it's menu but will only recognize it as having 1mb of ram. It
has in fact got 8mb. 

I'm hoping that there is something simple that I'm missing, being only new
to this Linux thing.  By the way, the distro I'm using is SuSE 6.0.

I've found quite a bit of info at the above site, but, I can't make head
nor tail of it. Can someone have a look and please tell me how to handle it.

It appears that I have to set this card up manualy?????

Rick
