I've been using fc2 with a Dell Dimension 4400 with one of these cards 
without much trouble.  The only thing was my cursor went black after 
testing some 3d screensavers that are in fc2.  Here's my lspci output:

It looks like with the fast schedule the fixes will be in the next 
release instead of fixing the current release.  I'm just speculating 
though...
