I've been sucessful with a similar card, the Diamond Stealth G460. Both of
them use Intel i740 chipsets. Because of the licensing issues around this chip,
Precision Insight wrote an X server for the i740, but cannot release the source
code (go bug Intel about that!). Get the server off of any redhat mirror in the 
XBF directory.(I used ftp://ftp.eecs.umich.edu/pub/linux/redhat/ftp.redhat.com/XBF/)
Install the glibc2 rpm with the alien backage. You will need to adjust the
/etc/X11/X link by hand. Also, you will need to install the XF86_VGA16 package
because some Debian packages need an X server.
