I can't find this card in SuSE's hardware DB. Radeon 8500 is listed as supported (acceleration included) on www.xfree86.org.
This card is basically an ATI Radeon 8500 with lower CPU and memory frequencies. I think that XFRee 4.2.0 supports it for 2d but there is no 3d acceleration. The Radeon 7500 got support both for 2d and 3d.
Is the Hercules 3D Prophet FDX 8500LE a good choice for a Linux machine? It will be used by my kids for games.
It don't use these cards but i use nvidia for long time now and i think nvidia chips offer a better support (for 3d) and seems an easier choice for Linux. Francis
