Yes, this is a Rendition Verite 2x00 based card. The "rendition" driver would be the native driver for it, and the XFree86 status page does claim to support this card. I've never actually encountered anyone using rendition hardware though or reporting bugs against it. That could mean that it is bug free(tm) <grin>, or it could mean that there are very few cards in circulation out there, or even possibly that it is so broken that everyone ditched their cards and replaced them with shiny new ones. ;o) Anyhow, give the rendition driver a shot, and if it doesn't work, post your results here and we'll try to troubleshoot.
