could you give the lspci or superprobe response for it? I'm pretty darn
certain I've been using an 8 MB ATI Rage Mobility under 3.3.6. But I have
the feeling there's more than one instance of their chipset that they
gleefully call "mobility". The one I have access to calls itself Mobility-P
(I think - my hubby has it right now).

What sort of "doesn't work" does it do? maybe it just needs better modelines.
I recently encountered a case where the thing wouldn't work at all in any mode
but 1024x768. Annoying, until I figured that out. If I wanted the "lesser"
pixel states, I had to use the unaccelerated SVGA driver which, curiously
enough, worked fine at all sizes.
