I don't have one of these but according to Diamonds web site the card
uses the TNT2 chipset. I don't know which version of X you are
running but there is official support in the SVGA server from 3.3.4,
which is not at netgod's site. There is a SVGA server released by
Nvidia(that was incorporated into 3.3.4) that you can get from Nvidia's
web site(Search the debian-user list archives for the location). You
should just be able to stick the binary in /usr/local/bin and then edit
/etc/X11/Xserver. You might also be able to do this with the SVGA
server from 3.3.4 with everything else a 3.3.3.1 system, I am not sure.
