I'm quite interested in all of this since I too will get an Asus 7400 laptop (when the prices come down a little more). As for XFree86... http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.3.1/README3.html : 3. Supported video-card chip-sets At this time, XFree86 3.3.3.1 supports the following chipsets: ATI 18800, 18800-1, 28800-2, 28800-4, 28800-5, 28800-6, 68800-3, 68800-6, 68800AX, 68800LX, 88800GX-C, 88800GX-D, 88800GX-E, 88800GX-F, 88800CX, 264CT, 264ET, 264VT, 264GT, 264VT-B, 264VT3, 264GT-B, 264GT3 (this list includes the Mach8, Mach32, Mach64, 3D Rage, 3D Rage II and 3D Rage Pro) ----- And the Rage LT Pro is based off the 3D Rage Pro. Furthermore, http://www.free86.org/3.3.3.1/ati3.html#3 : 3. Current implementation for ATI adapters The driver currently supports the SuperVGA capabilities of all ATI adapters except some early Mach8 and Mach32 adapters that do not provide the required functionality. This support works for monochrome, 16-colour and 256-colour video modes, if one of the following ATI graphics controller chips is present: Mach64 series: 88800GX-C, 88800GX-D, 88800GX-E, 88800GX-F, 88800CX, 264CT, 264ET, 264VT, 264GT (3D Rage), 264VT-B, 264VT3, 264VT4, 264GT-B (3D Rage II), 264GTIIc (3D Rage IIc), 264GT3 (3D Rage Pro), 264LT (3D Rage LT), 264LTPro (3D Rage LT Pro) The Rage 128 isn't supported yet, but the Rage LT Pro should be. At least, according to the documentation.
