Not me, I don't have any rx2600s (non-'workstation' zx6000
equivalent) anymore. I did get non-accelerated output out of
a Radeon HD5450 in an rx2620 under several operating systems.
I also have a few AGP cards, including a FireGL X1-256 and a
Radeon HD4670, but the latter I haven't tested much (also be-
cause the mixed 'PCI-X and AGP' riser/card cage isn't --- or
not 'officially' --- supported in/by the rx2620, let alone
with the IA-32/x86 instructions lacking "Montecito" 9000
series processors).
I haven't bothered much with Linux as of late. I should try
some more, soon, now that I have some time.

Interesting, I didn't know that (about the Radeon 7000).

That would be great, I'm all for that. Before that, though, I'll
mostly continue to use OpenVMS and HP-UX (to a far lesser degree).
