eh.. no ted.. any card supported by Xfree that is ported to Alpha..
Xfree 86 isn't Alpha :(
We also found the things like the Diamond Fire 1000 (Permedia) didn't always
work first time, until they had a bios flash.
Moral of the story, check the Redhat Video card support carefully before buying,
the list is severely curtailed over the normal XF86 stuff.
