Well... Tim Roberts is the official driver maintainer, so if the driver supports it, then it should just work. If the driver does not support it then it will not work. There really isn't anything you can do other than try it and if it works you're all set. If it doesn't then hopefully Tim will add support sometime. I monitor Tim's driver page, and often update the stock X driver to Tims latest as his generally is newer than the one in X sources. -- Mike A.
