I use it with my ATI xpert 2000. When I first installed Xfree86 4.0.1, I could run X, but had to do some manual editing to get it right. Seems that some people are having problems with it.

for debian, I think the packages are still in development... I never had any luck with them, and basically, I really have no motive to upgrade until they hit the "stable" branch.
