Shouldn't be a problem AFAIK (which I admit is no help at all!)

It has installed OK for me on several VIA integrated chipsets, mostly with the
later UniChrome version, but some S3 Savage ones. 

One problem is having the BIOS set to match AGP & TV outputs. This does not
work well, as it restricts the AGP output to values incompatible with some
screens.

If you can get to the Hutt meeting tonight, I'll be there & may be able to
help.

The problem may be an X one rather than Linux or Mandrake, I'll be able to tell
more if I can see it or you can give me more info as to what is actually going
wrong.

Cheers,
