That makes sense.
Then it should be supported in FC4 as well. If I remember correctly, both
cores use 2.6 kernels.

Gee! No wonder it's not supported. I haven't heard that name for about 15
years. They must have removed the support for tons of ancient video cards.
Then on the other hand, in simple VGA mode it should stil work. If I
remember corrctly this card is using ISA bus instead if PCI.
Hmm.... now when thinkin about, FC install gui defaults to 800x600 SVGA
resolution. So no support for VGA in install, except in text mode.
