Hi Joshua, 

sorry, I tried to insert a post, but for some reason my account at elysium ist
inactive - don't know why. So I will send you the feedback via mail. 

I'm running Debian Woody with:

Using an ATI 9800 Pro/ 128MB on an ASUS A7N8X/ Barton3200+/ 1GB DDR400 RAM.
Mostly working with Files > 200MB performance is good, interactivity is good. 

It was a hassle though to compile the fglrx driver. the most nasty thing I
remember to have to exchange pci_find_class method name with pci_get_class in
agpgart_be.c [?/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x]. There was a patch I had to
apply too: http://www.webdeko.com/firegl_public.patch. Maybe things are better
today, I did that around new year.
