For the record, I have tried numerous times to use both the Radeon 7500
and 7200 in a UP2000 without success.  They seem to confuse the PCI bus,
in that SRM reports them at hundreds of pci addresses.  Currently I am
running the Voodoo3-3000 for reasonable 3D support under Linux, but it is
annoying in that it only supports 16 bpp.  I for one would love to finally
get the Radeon 7500 working in the UP2000.
