Have you tried emailing Digital Dream tech support?

I did that but no need to "worry". It is not supported since I finally found out the chipset it uses. It is a chipset that has all its specs available but no one has a written a linux driver for it yet. I hope there were some people who just write drivers.. But all seem to write them only if they own the machine.. Anyway. I will try on a developement newsgroup. Someone may help..
